Scientist and actor Heather Massie's stage show celebrates the life of the extraordinary Hedy Lamarr - a film star and tech genius.
Dubbed the 'mother of wifi', Hedy Lamarr developed frequency hopping technology that ultimately became the basis for today's WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems.
She was also a film star in the 1930s and 40s, and described as "the most beautiful woman in the world".
Heather Massie studied astrophysics and theatre.
HEDY! THe Life & Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, part of the Auckland Arts Festival, has been touring the world, and is the first in a triolgy of shows devoted to women in science.
