They had to cast a white woman in the part because the censors wouldn't
allow an interracial romance.

One story that circulates about that gorgeous woman is that when she would
walk into a restaurant most people would stop eating and stare at her
walking to her table.
And who could be more appropriate than her to play 'Delilah".

"The most celebrated invention of frequency hopping was that of
actress Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil, who in 1942 received
U.S. Patent 2,292,387 for their "Secret Communications System". This
early version of frequency hopping used a piano-roll to change among
88 frequencies, and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder
for enemies to detect or to jam. The patent was rediscovered in the
1950s during patent searches when private companies independently
developed Code Division Multiple Access, a civilian form of
spread-spectrum."

I remember the name from somewhere else, too.
In an ancient George Carlin bit, a character named Tondelayo
Breckenridge is asked "Which pile of laundry is the whiter of the
two?"
"Uhm...the blue pile," is the response.
