The human mind and spirit are truly incredible.

In 1966, Lamarr was arrested in Los Angeles for shoplifting. The charges were eventually dropped. In 1991, she was arrested on the same charge in Florida, this time for stealing $21.48 worth of laxatives and eye drops. She pleaded no contest to avoid a court appearance, and the charges were dropped in return for her promise to refrain from breaking any laws for a year. Throughout her life, Lamarr claimed that her first son was not biologically related and adopted during her marriage to Gene Markey. However, years later, her son found documentation that he was the out-of-wedlock son of Lamarr and actor John Loder, whom she later married as her third husband.

agitprop. "Although it appears that during World War II the U.S. Army Signal Corps experimented on a spread-spectrum communication system, the U.S. Navy never used the Lamarr/Antheil system on torpedoes as it considered its clockwork piano roll mechanism for changing frequencies to be too bulky and unreliable. It wasn’t until 1957 that Sylvania was able to revive and the idea, with an electronic controller based on the recently invented transistor. Since then, the Lammar/Antheil patent has been cited numerous times by communications and information processing patents. It’s indeed an important technological concept used in wifi, cellphones, and other communications. Hedy Lamarr did not, however, invent wifi or cellphones. Wifi as we know it was invented by John O’Sullivan, an Australian engineer while working at the Netherlands’ Dwingeloo Radio Observatory in 1977."
