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.

Considering beauty and brains generally equals a constant, Hedy Lamarr was a remarkable woman indeed.

It is a New York liberal rag of some sort. They know only what their iPhag phones tell them.

You expect accuracy on a technical issue from a reporter? THAT'S absurd!
