[GreenKeys] RIP Hedy Lamarr

[Nick]

I looked up her story on Wikipedia. Very interesting  !!!
She was also a very talented and beautiful actress. But she teamed up with George Antheil to accomplish the invention. Not sure who really earned the credit.
Doesn't matter, sure an interesting story if you digg a bit deeper !!!

Subject: [GreenKeys] RIP Hedy Lamarr

We lost a siren of the big screen, Hedy Lamarr (real name Hedwig Kiesler),
on this day in 2000; I'll bet that not many people know that she invented
the frequency-hopping homing torpedo (based upon paper tape), but the Navy
wasn't interested.
