Indeed.
She actually thought up the first versions of “spread spectrum” technology.
I start my senior/grad level advanced comm theory courses showing her patent and history.
Think about that. Back then our stars actually had not only talent, but measurable IQs.
Fast forward to now...where it’s a contest between H-Wood and the Obamadork for the multiverse’s lowest IQ.

Beautiful with brains.
THAT could be a deadly combination. In Hedy's (It's Hedy! Not Hedley!) case, she use both for truth, justice and the American way.

George Antheil, a composer, author and inventor Lamarr reportedly consulted on how to improve her figure. Uhhhh... Yes. When I want to improve MY figure, the first thing I think of is to consult a composer/author.
The topic of their conversations soon turned to radio-controlled torpedoes
But of course... what ELSE could a composer/author and an actress talk about?

Not actually 100. She died in January 2000.
