[GreenKeys] RIP Hedy Lamarr

     I knew John Howard Lawson, a screen writer who worked on Hedy's 
first Hollywood movie. He told me the first time he met her he thought 
she had no personality. The director of photography, James Wong Howe 
told him "Wait till the cameras turn".  The patent can be found on 
Google patents by doing a name search but I think it was issued to her 
under her real name.
