She would spend the day shooting movies and her evenings in her own laboratory working on her ideas.

Hedy Lamarr was Anti-Fascist too…

myshkin24.bsky.social•2 days ago

Had she not been so beautiful we would be as familiar with her as we are with Marie Curie

Its an Australian invention. Bluetooth was invented in Denmark i think.

She and a pianist invented frequency hopping that eventually became WiFi.

No, Fuckerberg, you stole Facebook.

That is awesome!!

apollonia59.bsky.social•2 days ago

FYI—she was named in US Patent 2,292,387. Love it. There are also many other women inventors—some named in patents and others not.

That's "Hedley".

laurenatthebay.bsky.social•3 days ago

She was also very beautiful, unlike those "men".

Imagine how much more she might have contributed if she hadn't been worried (rightly so) about not being taken seriously.

This is 1874, you'll be able to sue her!

Wow, why did I NEVER hear those facts in 71 years? AMAZING WOMAN!

Hedy was ahead of her time.

sfannie53.bsky.social•2 days ago

Also, Steve Jobs did not make Apple. The guy was a tyrant.

heyfred134.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yup!! 👍👍🎉

Every time I see Hedy Lamarr’s name I immediately think of Blazing Saddles and Headly Lamar. Thank you Mel Brooks.

humbuckermudgeon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep. Give her credit for cellular phones too.

tress333.bsky.social•3 days ago

That is so cool! Thanks for this!

beck1111.bsky.social•3 days ago

There is a really good documentary on her called Bombshell. I think it was on Netflix

tress333.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m gonna have to check it out. Really fascinating.

vikingkim5.bsky.social•2 days ago

I saw it on PBS

Trump & Elon trying to defund and stop PBS and NPR

Yet three of these German-Jewish Billionaires all decide to hug into the Nazi President. Collabarators! They are a disgrace to their ancestors

I found this out about her watching PBS. She is the reason those aholes are billionaires. But they'll never admit that. I hope their wives know they hate women.

My second crush after Cheryl Ladd
