HEDY MAG ISSUE 1

got through to the tabloids and an autobiography gone
that went slightly wrong (do avoid ghost writers if the
situation ever arises, ladies). She became increasingly
secluded, and as her health started to fail, she moved
to Florida, where she died aged 85 in 2000. Frequency
hopping, however, went on to become the basis of many
of today’s wireless technologies, and Hedy Lamarr and
George Antheil were finally included in the Inventor’s
Hall of Fame in 2014.
So thank you, Hedy, for being so fucking remarkable
and clever, for having contributed to the existence of
wireless internet and for letting us borrow your Hollywood
epithet for our magazine.
