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.
