The picture book biography, Hedy Lamarr’s Double Life, tells the story of the actress’s hidden life—movie star by day, inventor by night. To her adoring public, Hedy Lamarr was a glamorous movie star, widely considered the most beautiful woman in the world. But in private, she was something more – a brilliant inventor. For many years only her closest friends knew her secret—she co-invented the technology, frequency skipping, which keeps our electronic devices safe from hacking.
