1/21-“FREQUENCY HOPPING” IS NOT A NEW DANCE RAGE AMONG THE “IN” CROWD. IT’S A HIGHLY TECHNICAL INVENTION BY ONE OF THE HOLLYWOOD “IN” CROWD NAMED HEDY LAMARR.

Hollywood history can be dull.  That’s rare, but possible; not however when that Hollywood history is in the hands of HOWARD GROSS.  Hedy Lamarr became an inventor during War World II.  This was no girlie fashion accessory either.   Lamarr was co-inventor of  a highly sophisticated “frequency-hopping” communications device the Defense Department never used during World War II but eventually recognized the value of and it came into military use during the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Lamarr worked with Lana Turner and Judy Garland in the making of “The Ziegfeld Girl.  Those three aggregated a total of 17 husbands.  Gross visits with Sara and Barry this evening.
