How Hedy Lamarr and Her Inventions Changed the World

While Hedy Lamarr did not actually invent WiFi, Bluetooth, & GPS, she did invent the technology that made those inventions possible. We would not have WiFi, Bluetooth, & GPS today without Hedy Lamarr. I think her life story is more fascinating than any of her movies could ever be. I think there should be a movie about her life story.

Thanks. I had not heard of this documentary. I'll try to rent or buy it. I still think it would make a great movie too, though. Not just a documentary.

I've always been a big fan of hers, since I was told she was in XTC at one point โ€”ย which would make sense, since she had such high levels of cleverness, intelligence, and talent. But later I found out she was actually just in a movie with a similar-sounding name, not the band. Apparently the movie, Ekstase, wasn't even filmed in Swindon. ๐Ÿคก

However, though it's obviously sexist of me to point this out, it's been suggested by quite a few cinema historians that Ekstase was the first non-pornographic commercial film to contain a scene depicting a female orgasm. See for yourself!

No, I don't want to see that. Not interested. I'm interested in the story of her inventions. I did see her in Samson and Delilah, though. And, I plan on watching another one of her movies too, but nothing like this one.

I ordered the blue-ray of the documentary on Hedy Lamarr. It's supposed to come in on Monday. I can't wait to watch it. It sounds fascinating.
