American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook. Hedy Lamarr

Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet. Hedy Lamarr

The world isn't getting any easier. With all these new inventions I believe that people are hurried more and pushed more... The hurried way is not the right way; you need time for everything time to work, time to play, time to rest.

The Secret Communication SystemAs if being a beautiful, talented actress was not enough, Hedy was also extremely intelligent. In addition to her film accomplishments, Hedy patented an idea that later became the crutch of both secure military communications and mobile phone technology. In 1942, Hedy and composer George Antheil patented what they called the Secret Communication System. The original idea, meant to solve the problem of enemies blocking signals from radio-controlled missiles during World War II, involved changing radio frequencies simultaneously to prevent enemies from being able to detect the messages. While the technology of the time prevented the feasibility of the idea at first, the advent of the transistor and its later downsizing made Hedys idea very important to both the military and the cell phone industry.Source: http://www.hedylamarr.com/about/biography.htmlPatent 2.292.387 registred by Hedy Lamarr, 11th August 1942.

Face ValueDirector Amy Redford Screenplay Jose RiveraGretchen Somerfeld Producer Marco MehlitzGretchen SomerfeldDavid Baxter Executive Producer Rose GanguzzaMichael Benaroya SYNOPSISIn this period drama, 1940s Hollywood movie star Hedy Lamarr and avant-garde composer George Antheil invent a Morse code-like system called frequency hopping, a forerunner to wireless communication. Their intellectual connection sparks a secret, passionate affair. The lead character, Hedy Lamarr, was considered the most beautiful, glamorous woman of her time. Yet privately, she craved a more intellectual life and worked independently on a series of inventions. With George Antheils help, she saw one of her key ideas, intended for the Allied war effort, realized in the form of a groundbreaking patent. The basic principle behind her idea led to the development of spread-spectrum technology. http://www.facevaluethemovie.com/George AntheilHedy Lamarr
