Millennial women are utterly convinced that Hedy Lamarr invented everything from WiFi to solving Bay of Pigs due to a patent she didn't even mention in her memoir (and the design was co-created by a university professor). It's BS. But she's pretty, right...
And if anyone doubts me - they can look it up. Donald Blythe, a commercial repair man received significant damages from Lamar many years later, but who among them will even bother to look this FACT up!
