I found this nugget of info out today...
Hedy Lamarr is a drop dead beauty from the 30's. Amongst being a beauty she's smart too... she invented Frequency-hopped spread spectrum... Why is this important... Chances are if you’re using a wireless network it's based on her ideas... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr Don't know why Brooks used Hedy or Headly into this movie... there are some references below about it... but its interesting just the same...... In an interview included in the DVD release of Blazing Saddles, Mel Brooks claimed that Hedy Lamarr threatened to sue, saying the film's running "Hedley Lamarr" joke infringed her right to publicity. This is lampooned when Hedley corrects Governor Le Petomane's pronunciation of his name, and Le Petomane replies with "What the hell are you worried about? This is 1874, you'll be able to sue her!". Brooks says they settled out of court for a small sum. -- MattMan555 -- << 2000 Nissan X >> <<A lift and big tires >> << Now with Urine Protection >> |
