In before the Blazing Saddles references.
Dangit, missed by 5 seconds.
Hahaha. its Headly
It’s 2017 so it doesn’t matter now.
You just had to do that didn’t you.

It’s not Hedy, It’s Headly, Headly Lamarr.

“By the start of World War II, they were two of the most accomplished talents in Hollywood. Leading lady Hedy Lamarr was known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and composer George Antheil had earned a reputation as the bad boy of music. What brought them together in 1940 was that timeless urge to preserve ones youth and enhance ones natural beauty, but what emerged from their work was a secret communications system that Lamarr and Antheil hoped would defeat the Nazis.

yes
;)
“They don’t make many like her!”
