Rachel Weisz May Play ’40s Movie Icon Hedy Lamarr According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rachel Weisz — who won an Oscar for her role in The Constant Gardener — may portray Hedy Lamarr in the upcoming movie Face Value. Lamarr, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Austria, was best known for her performance as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille’s Samson and Delilah (1949). However, Face Value reportedly will focus a great deal on her often-overlooked career as a scientist. In the ’40s, she helped pioneer a communications technology currently utilized by today’s WiFi devices. (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/3286/rachel-weisz-may-play-40s-movie-icon-hedy-lamarr) You can’t always trust The Hollywood Reporter, but it looks like a movie is in development, and it says it will focus more on her as a scientist, not as an actress, but will probably include a bit of that.
