about
Hedy Lamarr: 1914-2000. “A Double Life”. An immensely popular movie star known for her beauty, Lamarr co-invented a secret communications system that became the technical backbone of wireless operations. In one lifetime she lived two disparate lives.
lyrics
Verse:
Austrian and beautiful and schooled beyond compare,
Hedwig Kiesler dreamed of fame and fortune with a flair.
A controversial movie role,
A husband who would take a toll,
Persuaded her to flee and sail away….
A golden age
A beauty queen who was all the rage.
A shining star.
With looks and fame she must be Hedy Lamarr.
A secret place.
Inventions that the world would embrace.
She raised the bar.
With brains and braun she must be Hedy Lamarr.
Glamour was the game and the movies a coming attraction
For what was in store.
Daring and brave navigating a maze,
Changing radio waves,
Blocking enemy ways.
Designs for winning a war.
.
The silver screen.
Her sultry life gave way to a scheme.
The scientific door was ajar…
So chic and shrewd, she must be Hedy Lamarr.
Solos.
Interlude.
At a dinner party Hedy met a music man.
They realized torpedo signals were easy to jam.
Their newfound technology was radio hopping frequencies
Our missiles now would surely stay their course.
A patent, it was signed.
Expired then desired in time.
Her wireless ways have taken us far.
This pioneer is truly Hedy Lamarr.
