Please help support Anthony Loder, Hedy Lamarr's son, in his efforts to place a stainless steel grave marker as a memorial for Hedy's grave in Vienna, Austria. All that currently stands as a grave for Hedy is a simple plot in Zentralfriedhof, the most famous cemetery in Vienna. The proposed memorial, honoring the invaluable frequency-hopping device designed and patented by Hedy and composer George Antheil, is designed by Viennese designer Christian Thomas using 88 stainless steel rods for the 88 frequencies of Hedy's frequency hopping patent, the memorial creates an optical illusion, where Hedy's face becomes visible when standing directly in front of her grave.

You can donate here.

hi! is hedy's folly a good/factual book? xx

to be honest i haven’t read it in its entirety. it focuses on the invention so for the most parts it’s considered dry and technical.
