Gal Gadot's now looking to
television for a future role, aiming to play Hedy Lamarr in a new miniseries for US cable channel Showtime.
While the series is still making its way through the development phase, the presence of Gadot – who will also be an executive producer – should help move it along. Sarah Treem, who created and runs
The Affair for the channel, is behind this one.
Lamarr, born in Austria, went on to become one of the most famous stars of the Hollywood firmament, known for movies such as
Samson And Delilah,
Come Live With Me,
Boom Town and
The Ziegfeld Girl. The miniseries will also likely dig into her work as an inventor, credited with a frequency-hopping signal during World War II, which though it was initially rejected by US military, went on to become part of the technology behind Wifi.
