It’s no secret that Hedy Lamarr and eccentric aviation tycoon Howard Hughes were romantically involved, but many aren’t aware that their true connection was based on their love of invention. Hughes appreciated her mind, giving her complete access to his team of scientists to help her execute any of her inventions. Lamarr said that Hughes relied on her. She thought his airplanes were “too slow” so she designed a new wing shape for his planes, inspired by a book on fish and birds, to make them more aerodynamic. This is only the tip of the iceberg when it came to Lamarr’s pre-war inventions. The film premieres nationwide May 18, 2018, at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) and will be available to stream the following day via pbs.org/americanmasters and PBS apps.

Most fascinating ! Especially that she seems to have broken into Coca Cola's holy grail, meaning she actually broke Coca Cola's secret formula : Coca Cola bosses were not amused.....

I still like the "Cola-Cube" idea

Great woman but got pissed at MEL BROOKS for using character HEDLEY LAMARR in BLAZING SADDLES

[@annalisavajda252]

It's an awful movie imo too I saw it only once didn't laugh once. She's mature and intelligent why would she want to be associated with that? She was exploited in a German film before moving to America too so likely wary of her reputation being ruined.
