The documentary touches on the 35 Hollywood films the sizzling brunette made — including one she filmed at 17 where she portrayed the first female orgasm ever shown in a non-pornographic film — but it’s more about her part in the development of a radio frequency meant to scramble military messages.

She didn't develop a radio frequency. That's absurd. She did develop a way to hop around between different carrier frequencies as a way to make it hard to intercept transmissions unless your receiver is synced up to tune in those same frequencies at all the appropriate times. Anyone listening on just one frequency would just hear static. The receiver has to tune to the correct frequency at the right time, then to the next correct frequency at the right time, etc. This idea was extended and came to be called spread spectrum and yes, it's used in WiFi primarily to prevent different nodes from interfering with each other. Heddy Lamaar was a hot science babe.

Megan Fox comes the closest to Hedy’s level of beauty.
Sad that such a fine mind as Hedy Lamar became kleptomaniac in her later years.

Her compulsion to shoplift may have been from advancing alzheimers.
People didn’t talk much about that condition back then.
They just called the senior citizen ‘senile’.
Or maybe she was just down on her luck.
Not all actresses of that time had the best agents or managers. Her wealth may have been quietly stolen over time.

Oh, forget it. Hedy Lamarr was IT

kids I know even younger than millennial want to work for foreign service because of hedy Lamar

Anyone who has ever seen a bob Hope flick with her in it would want to be like her. And anyone who hasn’t taken 90 short minutes out of their brainless game playin porn soaked day to watch one of these flicks is not thinking straight

That’s all
