If you're reading this on your phone, thank Hedy! Hedy Lamarr, the screen siren deemed "the most beautiful woman in the world" in the 1930s and '40s. also invented a wireless form of communication called "frequency hopping" that revolutionized mobile communications all over the world, a feat that would directly lead to the creation of secure communications for wireless phones, Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi technology itself. And that's just a fraction of her amazing story.

Join us on Tuesday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. as we pay tribute to an unusual and accomplished woman, spurned as too beautiful to be smart, but a role model to this day. This event includes

    ?    Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story;

    ?    followed by a short talk,"Frequency Hopping: Hedy's Big Idea," by electrical engineer Elizabeth Dreyer;

    ?    and finally, Hedy's influential U.S. feature debut, Algiers (1938).
