Because she studied Astrophysics at the University of Virginia, it is only fitting that this brilliant actress combined her passion for science and acting when she wrote
“HEDY! The Life & Inventions of Hedy Lamarr”
Raised in Blacksburg Virginia, Ms. Massie graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Virginia Tech School of the Arts.
As a young child, Ms. Massie wanted to be an astronaut. She began studying Astrophysics but soon discovered her passion and talent for acting when she took a break from studies to take an acting class.
In addition to
“HEDY! The Life & Inventions of Hedy Lamarr”
Ms. Massie is writing two other plays about women with major contributions to science, technology and engineering.
Her next solo show in this trilogy celebrating women in science is "Flying with Sally Ride! America's First Woman in Space"
Ms. Massie’s mission is “To inspire audiences to find ways each day to make the world a better place. To encourage young women in endeavors of science and technology.To establish Hedy Lamar as a role model for intelligence, ingenuity & invention”. To bring this mission to life, Ms. Massie conducts community engagement and outreach programs after each performance. This program includes workshops for both young scientists and performing artists.
She also has some advice “…do something that you love to do, and that is close to your heart and to your love for life….”
