Wow, that's an actual fact and shows that Hedy Lamarr had more than beauty going for her. Here's a snippet from Wikipedia:


"Lamarr also co-invented – with composer George Antheil – an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary to wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.

"Lamarr took her idea to Antheil and together, Antheil and Lamarr submitted the idea of a secret communication system in June 1941. On August 11, 1942, US Patent 2,292,387 was granted to Antheil and [Lamarr]."
