Remarkably Gifted: Hedy Lamarr
with Jane Ellen

Online Class
Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) was billed by Louis B. Mayer as “the world’s most beautiful woman”, but there was far more to this remarkable woman than MGM’s sexist billing would have you believe. Lamarr appeared in 30 films across a 28-year career in Europe and the U.S.; more importantly she was a gifted inventor who advised Howard Hughes on airplane design and pioneered the technology that forms the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems.
Jane Ellen has been presenting lifelong learning classes for over 25 years. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New Mexico, and later received Professional Certification from the Music Teachers National Association. As a lecturer she specializes in all aspects of music and entertainment history, with the occasional foray into other areas of her eclectic interests. Ellen’s presentations benefit not only from her gifts as a storyteller, but from a lifetime of work as an independent scholar, performer, published composer, and recording artist.
