On International Women's Day, Susan tells us about Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, a documentary which shows young girls that you can be smart AND beautiful.

Hedy Lamarr was buried in an unmarked grave in Austria, when Susan began work on this documentary with director Alexandra Dean, producer Adam Haggiag (and the rest of her Reframed Pictures team, working from her New York home!)

But the Austrian actress was the brains behind the concept of frequency hopping - which is now used as the basis for secure WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth - and by focusing on that story, Hedy Lamarr's scientific legacy will reach a wider audience.

Susan also talks about her role in Feud, which tells the story of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford's 1962 film Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? She has always found women to be allies and she firmly believes that when they work together, they are stronger. She is optimistic about women's position in the film industry today. The past five films she's worked on have been directed by women, and Susan cites the careers of Reese Witherspoon, Melissa McCarthy and Tiny Fey, as signs that there are better opportunities for women today.
