I had no idea... Hedy Lamarr
OK so she was a successful Hollywood actress but did you know she was also an inventor?
I had no idea... RIP Ms Lamarr.

She became a recluse in her 40s.
Do think maybe she had some mental health issues?

Before my time, but certainly a fascinating story. No doubt brilliant and eccentric. I'd love to see a movie that portrays her with some accuracy.

IIRC, she tried to show the govt her ideas and was blown off a few times until someone actually listened to her.

Yes but it's understandable considering the time.
We take frequency hoping tech for granted now but back then it would have been "science fiction". Howard Hughes dated her for a while and he listened to her.
