Why had I not heard of Hedy Lamarr? Had you heard of Hedy Lamarr? This glamorous actress dabbled in a few things in her spare time, like, oh, just INVENTING FREQUENCY HOPPING SPREAD SPECTRUM COMMUNICATIONS. Just a bit of girly crafting, there. Sounds like she had an exciting life; such as, the daring escape from her controlling Nazi-loving husband. I think someone should make a bio-pic.

Yes! And yay biopic!

In fiction: if you watched "Agent Carter", there were references that made clear that Lamarr was part of the inspiration for the villain. Also, the sci-fi show "Timeless" had a Lamarr-centered episode in the second season.

Her name at least also got a lot of play in Blazing Saddles. I'm not sure if it's the first place I heard of her but it might have been.
