Contrasted with many of todays actors, Lamarr - being foreign born - saw the righteousness of the Allies, and she strongly supported them.
She used her knowledge of Nazi technologies to design a system for jam-proofing allied torpedos, and preventing them from going off-course.
A wireless technology innovator.

Lamarr also co-invented spread-spectrum technology. The folks at the late, lamented Ricochet.net (wonderful wireless network that died a couple years ago) flew her out for an award ceremony to honor her for her contributions to technology.

On second reading, this article seems to be talking about spread-spectrum.
D'oh!
