It is bigger than that.
Virtually no one had that opportunity.
Lamarr was lucky enough to be part of a very small élite where "her father was deputy director of Wiener Bankverein, and in the end of his life a director at the united Creditanstalt-Bankverein. Her mother, a pianist and a native of Budapest, had come from an upper-class Hungarian-Jewish family.". She had a lot more opportunities than most of her contemporaries.
