Book Review: Hedy Lamarr's memoirs (women & engineering)
I have to agree with other book reviews concerning Ecstasy and Me: My Life as a Woman. I don't think it accurately reflects Ms. Lamarr's life. After all, her scientific achievements are ignored.
That said, this book was a quick read. Also, it dispels the illusion of glamor that old Hollywood exuded and is a cautionary tale to beautiful women who seek to use their looks to succeed. As an actress, Hedy consistently played a femme fatale. However, in reality, the world gained more from Hedy than she ever took. Her work with spread spectrum technology contributed to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth.
