Sounds like she should be left in the home. You own her nothing.

Sorry to hear your mom was awful---I hope your grandparents were better.

My mother also behaves badly towards me, she even hated me, then, guess what... she wasn't my mother, I discovered that that little monster wasn't my mother! Everyone knew!

My mom wasn't a demonstrative person. No hugs or words of endearment. A few years after my father died, she started asking for and giving me hugs. She even said she loved me ( words I never dreamed I'd hear from her). Only to find out she had dementia.

Sorry to hear your mom was awful when you were child and now with dementia is sweet. That's a blessing. My mom was sweet and fun when I was young. As she aged she had dementia and we didn't get along. By her late 60s she had dementia and now Alzheimers. She transition between normal and mean.😢

I recall some other spread spectrum patents were kept secret by the US government for a while...I once had the occasion to review the patent application file of one of them after they were declassified. As I recall from memory, the WWII Germans first came up with a form of Spread Spectrum (I almost wrote SS which would have been confused with the Nazi party) using rotating disks. Fascinating stuff and why you can get a signal from WiFi SMS text despite a signal-to-noise ratio of 1000:1 (60 dB). And as you say Lemarr was a pioneer co-inventor for frequency hopping SS as opposed to Time Division SS. Sadly, like most pioneer inventors, she got nothing for it financially except fame (a study by the Columbia economist William Nordhas found that pioneer inventors typically get less than 5% of the market value of their pioneer inventions).

Beauty and brains, a rare combination. Looks like Miss Lamar had them both ,... in spades.

I received an undergraduate degree in Geospatial Intelligence and have also invented AI technology used in social media platforms. She has highly influenced every aspect of my life. Nobody but inside circles know the inventions I am responsible for... because my entire life was hidden by commercial dance and modeling. I use her as a reference for all of my final papers and case studies. She is legendary. The Strauss Howe Theory predicts that roughly every 80 years there is a great paradigm shift that happens between technology and pop culture. From her introduction of Frequency Hopping to my first AI donation to DARPA...it's literally...80 years. ❤. One day it will be commercialized. 🏆.

Yes, but that's old news isn't it, about old Hedwig🤣

​@@melianna999really? That is your take away? 😒

They were very different times, especially for women. Illegitimacy would have damaged the boy’s life and summarily ended his mother’s career, and may have also terminated Loder’s. Obviously something went very wrong, but at one point she did get them all three back together and made a family, if only for a moment. It sounds like they were all estranged by the deception to the outer, judgemental world. It was not uncommon. Loretta Young got pregnant by Cary Grant and appeared later with an adopted daughter. Most gave the children up or had risky terminations.

If you read the comments, there was no deceit - it was the practice to put adoptive parent's names on birth certificates, and DNA proved that James wasn't biologically related to Hedy.

So quick to judge! This is a very small account of her life. We’ll never really know why she had to make that decision. This actually happened more than people realize around that time for many different reasons. Her son holds no ill will towards her and they reconciled before she passed away. He’s been very well taken care of. There are so many things in life that aren’t always understandable. This was a highly complex and beautiful woman, highly sought after and basically invented wifi among other things that weren’t mentioned. May she rest in peace ❤️

That is awful 😢

We're black. My aunt had an affair with a white guy and have birth. She married black man. Everyone tried to tell my cousin that this man was his father when physically, everyone could see he wasn't. He looked white. We could all see how messed up it all was and the stepfather was particularly strict with him while indulging his biological son. Finally, later his wife found his father's family. The dad was dead, but the family invited his wife and him to visit and he met his uncles and cousins and finally he was at ease. No idea why people tell these kinds of lies. The kid knows. Everyone knows. You just can't keep those secrets. It's actually cruel. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes it's cruel very cruel - we are entitled to know who we are

I have a half brother who was to a insanely slightly different story. After the dad died the sisters took him aside and told him, the truth His mom was pregnant and ended up marrying our dad. Everyone said she favored the mom. Carried our dad's name. Then another brother came looked just like our dad. At 40, they told him. Their mom, our dad got divorced [I know my mom knew the truth.] The sisters were from the next man she married, turned out, was his biological father. Yet no one told him. The mom had passed earlier in life. I really believe, they should have told him the truth.

That would probably work if you looked like Hedy Lamarr?

That career, and the place, certainly seems to attract a certain type. And then surviving in that place further seems to favor people who either already have or can develop qualities that fit that "certain type". Self centered, willing to do whatever is needed to get what they want, a big part of which seems to be being the center of attention. It's not a healthy type of culture. Before they though at least tended to pretend being more normal, these days it's more like they are trying to make the rest of the world accept their culture as the normal one. And a lot of them these days seem to be raised into it. Have you checked how many of the current movie stars are from families who already were in one way or another connected to that industry?

Personal lives of the top actors are always mucked up because it impossible to balance work-life and staying on top. Some succeed in personal life only because of tremendous support from family.

My comment was deleted. Oh, the irony. Still not allowed to state an unwanted opinion. In a nutshell, I said shame has its place and the pendulum has swung entirely towards the push for women's self-gratification at a high cost to all.

And, for the record, I raised my sons to be gentlemen. Unfortunately, there are virtually no girls their age who are anywhere near to being marriagable. Body counts and STDs are ripping to shreds our society and boys are being given the blame!

@@kimberlygilliam6112 She was cold woman.

​@@kimberlygilliam6112 Hedy had her issues with men (none matched up to the memory of her late father) but she was reportedly wonderful to the adopted son James when he was young and he said so in interviews. His younger sister and brother loved their mother but were typical rich kids. Hedy told a friend she was afraid she hadn't warned them enough about the harder times after MGM. The problems with James all started after he started going to Military schools and Chadwick's kicked him out for his behavior. He became a trouble maker for about 4 or 5 years according to the chauffeur. Then he took a liking to his teacher and her coach husband. If he lived with them he could be with his old friends where they taught. Hedy was against it but James went on about it and finally Hedy gave in. It was his decision to move in with his teacher's family as he had become jealous of his little sister Denise and baby brother Anthony. Hedy continued to pay for his education until he went into the Air Force. He went on trips with his teacher and her family overseas. Hedy set up a trust fund for James and gave him real estate investments. Sadly the people who actually knew them are gone and you have tabloid reporters and worse filling in nonsense. Denise and her late brother Tony didn't know the details but bits and pieces. Hedy had been hurt by James rejection of her. She had fought for him after the split with cheater Gene Markey when the Children's Society wanted James back after the divorce. You have to do a lot of digging to find out what went on. Sadly her longtime friend Patrick Agan didn't get his promising bio of Hedy published before he passed. He was going to get things cleared up. There are a couple articles of his online where he straightens out some things and corrects stuff from her ghost written auto-biography from the late 60s. The producers and narrator of this video should correct the bad attitudes and mistakes.

She was quite old at the time it was a package of underwear. She took one pair out and went in the bathroom to change them because she had wet her pants, and she had them in her purse and forgot. She had her assistant with her and she said that Heddy totally forgot. I think the drugstore wanted to create something they could’ve easily let her go. I believe it was Alberts /CVS. I live here in Orlando and was here at the time that it happened. It was shameful to do that to her. PS she was living in Casselberry, Florida, close to Altamonte

@@skatefan9495 Hedy did not abandon him. This is a poorly researched sensationalized video. James was a wonderful baby and Hedy fought to keep him when Gene Markey cheated on her and they divorced. The Children's Society wanted him back but Hedy fought them and won. After Hedy marriied John Loder, he enrolled him in Chadwick's a military boarding school and then James changed and turned into a troublemaker and that continued for the next 4 or 5 years according to Hedy's long time chauffeur. Early on when he was about 8 he caused trouble at the school, and Chadwick's would no longer allow him to live there at night and the weekends. He later decided he wanted to live with his teacher and her husband, a coach, and they taught his old friends from when he got in trouble. Hedy fought it but James wouldn't let up. He was 12 by then and Hedy thought he'd be happier. She talked with him and James said it was his choice to leave, he was jealous of young Denise and her little baby brother Anthony. So he moved in with his teacher's family in Redondo Beach. Hedy continued to pay for his education for years, set up a trust fund, and made some good real estate investments for James. He was sure not abandoned. He long benefited from her high dollar MGM years. He stayed with his teacher's family, went on trips with them, and he eventually left them at 18 and joined the Air Force. He went from the Air Force into police work in the midwest and wound up in Omaha. He responded to a call in 1969 and the kids ran. Without giving warning he allegedly shot a teen African American girl in the back of the head. His partner had to wrestle him to the ground to get his gun away. There were riots following. There was a white jury who set him free but the case is still debated in Omaha. In 2000 he was working as a security guard at a casino and he was charged with filing a false report which stayed on his record. He passed away recently at about age 84.

Hddy Lamarr and George Anthiels did, in fact, receive a patent for FHSS ("Secret Communication System," US patent 2,292,387A). The patent expired in 1959. It is true that she never received compensation for the invention--she and Antheil donated the patent to the US Navy.

It is jaw dropping beauty. Her patent is quite good, even more so given a she had no formal training in engineering. I've read her patent, appreciate her cleverness, and actually worked on the FIRST frequency hopping spread spectrum system realized for Milstar satellite communications.

Lana Turner said in her memoir Ciro's nightclub was made for entrances and the most memorable entrance for her was her Ziegfeld Girl co star Hedy Lamarr. She said she was at the popular nightspot when Hedy at the height of her beauty walked in looking like a goddess with that beautiful face framed by thick wavy black hair , a cape draped around her from chin to toe and a fabulous solitaire diamond attached to the middle of her hairline on her forehead. Lana said she was enough to make strong men faint. She later discovered the secret that Hedy's hairdresser secured that very real diamond to her forehead with very fine black wire that was woven into her hair and the diamond secured to the wire in the middle of her forehead with glue.

There are plenty of photos of her and she is attractive, but only goddesses carry such prestige, and she was no goddess.

Your cousin, Linda, was very beautiful & a really good actress. It was incredibly sad how she passed in that house fire. That’s a family lineage to be proud of & she also seemed to be a very nice lady.

Linda Darnell had some Cherokee ancestry trough her mother.

Hedy's ancestors may have been Jewish, but she was baptized and raised Catholic.

I think she has a number of different looks. I can see a Vivien Leigh and Liz Taylor for sure. And the dreaded mistake of plastic surgery.

And, a dead ringer for Joan Bennett, who was married to Gene Markey before he married Hedy Lamarr.

In your dreams maybe! Vivien is in a league of her own! Lamarr is very overrated!!🙈👎

Vivien Leigh was a $corpio too and so was Gene Tierney who I also thought resembled Hedy. And Elizabeth Taylor was born with moon in scorpio.

Intellectual property is usually copyrighted. Nothing happens or gets invented without first being an idea. Now if another individual had a patent/copyright from nearly the same time showing a comparable idea that evolved, I would be more willing to believe that Lamarr's idea was just the next logical step instead of something new... But the military gaslighted her and seized the patent! There is more than room to believe it was with intention. Not wanting to pay money or see possible new tech go to the highest bidder in wartime would be motive enough. Swindling a lone woman, not the CEO of a big company, who was not military, who was not even American, who was 'Hollywood' and would not be taken seriously, would be very believable of the leadership of the time.
