The actress, best known for her role as Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman in the DC superhero franchise, has joined Showtime’s Hedy Lamarr limited series.
The still-untitled project follows the life of the film actress and inventor who immigrated from Europe to the US in the ‘30s and took Hollywood by storm.
“The life of Hedy Lamarr was a truly fascinating one. She stood at the forefront of many issues that challenge women and our society today,” said Showtime’s President of Entertainment Jana Winograde. “In Gal Gadot, we have found the transcendent actress to portray the deeply complex Lamarr. And with the award-winning talents of Sarah Treem and Warren Littlefield, this is going to be a special series.”
Penning the series is Sarah Treem (The Affair), who will also executive produce.
Gadot will be joined by Warren Littlefield (The Handmaid’s Tale, Fargo), Katie Robbins (The Last Tycoon) and Gadot’s husband Jaron Varsano (My Dearest Fidel).
