Hedy Lamarr’s honors go past being just a star on the Walk of fame. In recent years, her work in communication has become more recognized, with the National Inventors Hall of Fame posthumously inducting Lamarr and Antheil in 2014. Lamarr was also one of few female producers continuing the fight for female leadership despite patriarchal resistance, paving the way for women to come.
