Richard Rhodes’ Hedy’s Folly reviewed: What was the source of Hedy Lamarr’s inventive genius? - Slate Magazine

I'm sure many of you have heard about Heddy Lamar's role as an innovator in radar during WWII, but I think the story is worth repeating.

Actually, I read about this just a couple of days ago. I didn't know that she was also an inventor as well as a Hollywood star! The things you learn!
