I didn't know that! Hedy Lamarr (/ˈhɛdi/; born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler; November 9, 1914– January 19, 2000) was an Austrian-born American film actress and inventor. A film star during Hollywood's golden age, Lamarr has been described as one of the greatest movie actresses of all time. After a brief early film career in Czechoslovakia, including the controversial Ecstasy (1933), she fled from her husband, a wealthy Austrian ammunition manufacturer, and secretly moved to Paris. Traveling to London, she met Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood. She became a film star with her performance in Algiers (1938). Her MGM films include Lady of the Tropics (1939), Boom Town (1940), H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941), and White Cargo (1942). Her greatest success was as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's Bible-inspired Samson and Delilah (1949). She also acted on television before the release of her final film, The Female Animal (1958). She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. At the beginning of World War II, she and avant-garde composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. Although the U.S. Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of their work are incorporated into Bluetooth and GPS technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi. This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014. |

Morning,
Grid Legends & Last of Us.
Was getting Joel battered repeatedly in TLOU so stopped playing as I was in no condition to win.
We also watched Bad Sisters and Minx.
DJ DialJess on Twitch before bed. Shazzamed a couple of belters.

There was some futball on last night, I watched the second half. Powerful stuff. By coincidence, I had just been reading about Rommels dislike* of the Italian infantry divisions at Tobruk.
"They did not come forward at all, or they ran at the first shot".
How times change.
*Actually, what he said was that he was 'deeply depressed' about them, not 'dislike' - I checked.

52 years ago today the USSR's Luna-16 returned from the Moon bringing back the first samples from an extra-terrestrial object. It landed by parachuting back to Earth in Kazakhstan (doubtless because, in that sparsely populated country, the chances of killing people were greatly reduced (and besides if it did the dead bodies were unlikely to be Russian***)). Lucky old us got just under 2/100th of an ounce of it. Worth a lot today, sold on the open market 7/1000th of an ounce was sold at Sotheby's for US$855,000 on 29 November 2018. The 3.56 ounces brought back, by that measure, would be worth US$431,775,000*. The mighty USSR celebrated its success in bringing back just over 100 grams of lunar soil by issuing a commemorative 10 kopec stamp. *sounds a lot, but it's just one hundredth of the extra that has just been borrowed from all of us by Kwasi (pronounced Quasi, as in quasi-economics) to give to the super rich. **the relevance to us chatterboxers is that stamp. It could be claimed by Tuffers as a tribute to THAT (just look at the bloody thing). As the stamp is worth (rounding up) 2 tenths of one of our great British Pence (as the Pub Landlord might say) that would seem about right! ***It would, in my view, have been a tragedy if the satellite had landed on the parents of these fearsome women, celebrating their country. |

I know that I have listened to an excellent narrative of the war in the desert from the allied perspective echoing Rommel's comments about the Italian troops*, but I can't remember its title, dammit. *Apart from the Ariete division. (Rommel mourned the loss of the division, writing that its final action had been conducted with exemplary courage and that "in the Ariete we lost our oldest Italian comrades, from whom we had probably always demanded more than they, with their poor armament, had been capable of performing). |
