Members and friends of Carnegie Science Center can get an exclusive preview of this movie beginning November 13 until it is released to the public in January 2021. Based on true events of the 1920’s, Radium Girls stars Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Joey King ( The Act , The Kissing Booth ) and Abby Quinn ( I’m Thinking of Ending Things , Landline ) as Jo and Bessie Cavallo. The teen sisters dream of Hollywood and Egyptian pyramids as they paint glow-in-the-dark watch dials at the American Radium factory in New Jersey. When Jo loses a tooth, Bessie’s world is turned upside down as a mystery slowly unravels. Bessie investigates a corporate scandal and the “Radium Girls” file a lawsuit against American Radium. The notorious case ultimately led to a lasting impact in workplace health and safety as well as the study of radioactivity.
