#TIL in Bombshell the Hedy Lamarr Story

And she wasn‘t paid a dime for it. Experts also believe that if current trends continue, almost every person on the planet will be connected by frequency hopping (which is the basis for secure WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, cell phones, & military tech).

What an incredible story. Glad I watched it.

#nfNov watching Bombshell The Hedy Lamarr Story

#TIL I knew she was a scientist, held a patent, & her invention was the basis for WiFi. But I did not know that Hedy Lamarr was the model for Snow White and the inspiration for Catwoman. And such a complicated woman.

Megabooks I learned that listening to this book on the way to Dallas. I can‘t believe (well I can) that the government turned her away and told her to sell kisses for war bonds. And she did because she‘s a better person than they deserved!

The Way I Heard It

wanderinglynn @Megabooks She said that people could never get past her face. So sad because she was so intelligent. 5y

Crazeedi @Megabooks I love Mike Rowe. And I read a book about her, now I need to read this 5y

I may have to read this after watching a documentary about Hedy Lamar (called Bombshell) last night. I really feel sad that she didn‘t benefit from her invention that not only the military uses, but all of us use every time we pick up a cellphone. ā¹ļø¸

This past weekend I managed for a one woman show on Hedy Lamarr. It was wonderful and a busy run that we did not expect. I personally know the actress, who wrote and stars in it. Learned a lot about Hedy and her work. She is going to Ireland next for a festival and family visit. I am very excited to see what is in the future for this show.
