Recalled reading a comment by her about co-star Victor Mature in "Samson and Delilah".

"I'd never date a guy that has bigger breasts than I do."

"I'd never date a guy that has bigger breasts than I do."

Back in the 1980's the US military was using software based frequency hopping devices that would switch between 100's of frequencies While commercial applications might use 10 in the 1990's. Those devices were given to the Contras in Nicaragua for secure communication. The software was in a cartridge that could be changed out easily so if one was capture it was just a matter of all the others getting new cartridges insert into them.

Anyway I would vote Lamarr as one of the most beautiful women in history.
