COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Documentary that Reveals many sides of Glamour Star submitted by ssmyth on June 24, 2018, 8:08pm We really thought this documentary was very well made. Heddy led an amazing life and her story needs to be told. She was by no means perfect, but this is in the same vein as Hidden Figures. Why have we not known about all of these brilliant STEM type women in the early 20th century? This is definitely worth the watch!
