I saw some other mention of the birthday on the net.

Not sure why - for a deceased person I always thought something like "100" might be noted - like "the late Ms. X was born 100 years ago today", but 101 seems odd.

Hedy. A stunner.

Very true. And a gifted mathematician. Was co-holder of a patent on the frequency-shifting algorithms that make wi-fi communication work. She and her partner designed it for use in torpedo control in WWII.

I didn't know that. Interesting.

 

[Zorro]

Yup. And she was the A#1 pinup of WWII (along with Betty Grable.) Beauty and brains, bunches of both.

 

[Zorro]

And it's Lamarr!

Of course it is. I stand corrected. Lamar was Mirabeau.

Didn't she also play a role in code breaking?
