This is a set of 108 color and black and white pictures of actress Hedy Lamarr. Some are actually post-war, while the rest are pre-war or during.

These are compatible with the A Girl In Every Port program. Thumbnail file included.

Miss Lamarr was a double threat: beauty and brains. During WWII she co-invented a system called frequency hopping to protect radio guided torpedoes from being jammed. The idea was actually ahead of the technology, and so wasn't used until the Navy used it on listening buoys during the Cuban Missle Crisis. Now known more commonly as spread spectrum, it's used in cell phones and other wireless communications today.
