Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Hedy’s efforts can still be seen today. Her technology from the frequency hopping is now used in modern day GPS, Bluetooth, cell phones, and Wi-Fi. Not only that, but she was one of the largest actresses of her age, and got her dream of being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014. Hedy Lamarr might not be a “sung” hero, but today we have greatly been affected by her efforts."
