The portrait that finally tells the whole story.
Hedy Lamarr wasn’t just the most beautiful woman in the world—she co-invented the tech that makes Wi-Fi possible. This mixed-media collage hides patent drawings, war headlines, and even a Snow White reference in plain sight.

The Story Behind The Inventor (Hedy Lamarr)
She was dismissed as “just another pretty face.”
Then she co-patented frequency-hopping spread-spectrum technology that became the bedrock of Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
Every collage element is real:
• Reproduced pages from her actual 1942 patent
• Headline about the passenger ship sinking that drove her to invent
• A red ribbon nod to Walt Disney using her as Snow White’s model
