Welcome to Litsy!

Bk10 of this weeks #LibraryHaul is another #NFNov pick. This is about the actress Hedy Lamarr, who was a lot more than just a pretty face. In 1937, Hedy Kiesler is desperate for a way out of Vienna, with her Jewish heritage it‘s only a matter of time before the Nazis realise who she is. But she‘s been listening at all those parties at her husbands castle, she has a few secrets that may help her new country. Including the fact she‘s a scientist.

Jennifer, thank you so much for this book, the coloring book, and the cards!! The cards are already in use!!! Thanks again for your thoughtfulness 💞😘💗❤️🎉🎊📚

Bombshell:The Hedy Lamarr Story.....2017 on Netflix.
There are many sides to Hedys life. The inventor most interesting. She invented a fizz tablet, put in water it turns to cola. She also invented a Radio Controlled Torpedo to help Britain win the war, by frequency hopping.
She was given an award for inventing wi-fi,never claimed, and was never paid for any of her inventions. Some still believe she stole them.

“Real life isn‘t always as magical as the movies, yet, sometimes it‘s even more so.”

“I thought of life's many bounties, to have known the extremities of joy and sorrow, love, crossed love and unrequited love, success and failure, fame and slaughter..”

O‘Brien was driven to exile after the publication and controversy of her first novel, which details the ‘conflict of being a young woman ahead of her time, incurring the wrath of her family, the church and Irish rural society‘. Been meaning to read this.

And she wasn‘t paid a dime for it. Experts also believe that if current trends continue, almost every person on the planet will be connected by frequency hopping (which is the basis for secure WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, cell phones, & military tech).

What an incredible story. Glad I watched it.

#TIL I knew she was a scientist, held a patent, & her invention was the basis for WiFi. But I did not know that Hedy Lamarr was the model for Snow White and the inspiration for Catwoman. And such a complicated woman.

Thanks to @rachelm and @Librarybelle for recommending that I read the tagged book last week - I loved it!

I hadn‘t read any blurb about it, probably as it was on Kindle, so it was a huge, fantastic surprise. I also didn‘t get the reason why Evelyn had chosen Monique, much as I tried.

The rest of my #bookreport is also shown - a great week as both Evelyn and Period are vying to be in the #top19of2019.

Ha! Think how many of us would be divorced! 😅 Kinda makes me like Bette Davis more!
(A friend just shared this on Facebook. I thought some Littens might enjoy it too!)

The history of possibly the most famous hotel in Hollywood, which means it‘s also full of bite sized chunks of the stories of Hollywood legends. I really liked it.
