The Big O and why you should thank Hedy Lamarr for your wireless connection

Happy Monday! Here’s a little something to pick you up or at least to transport you. This little clip just took me somewhere else. I just found it beautiful. The crane shot at the end..(I mean that had to be a crane) made you feel like you were a fly’s soul escaping. Very hypnotic.

And here’s a little Hedy Kiesler (Lamarr) nudity for the evening.

I can’t quite find the orgasm scene. When I dig it up I will definitely post it. This was done before she had fled her husband Friedrich Mandl, an arms manufacturer who was conspiring with the Nazi’s. (This is wacky, because he was apparently half Jewish). She changed her name to Lamarr later.

So get this. This is the coolest thing I have ever heard about a Hollywood actress. So turns out Hedy Lamar, the woman who was famous for the first depiction of a female orgasm on film. (Which again, when I find I promise I will post) was also a co-inventor of a device that we base our current secure military transmissions on.

Or something like that (It is called Spread Spectrum Technology). Basically, we could not have had wireless technology without her. Cool, huh?
