Hedy Lamarr: Invention of Spread Spectrum Technology

"Hedy Lamarr
Invention of Spread Spectrum Technology

Although better known for her Silver Screen exploits, Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler) also became a pioneer in the field of wireless communications following her emigration to the United States. The international beauty icon, along with co-inventor George Anthiel, developed a "Secret Communications System" to help combat the Nazis in World War II. By manipulating radio frequencies at irregular intervals between transmission and reception, the invention formed an unbreakable code to prevent classified messages from being intercepted by enemy personnel."

she would co-patent the technology for today's cellphones, Wi-Fi and GPS by building a torpedo for the U.S.Navy.

Liked most of his movies but did not care for him off screen. In real life, he was certainly no hero as the link explains. His work with the House Un-American Activities Committee put him on my list of deplorable, but I still liked his movies. I guess that makes him a good actor.
