This nonfiction pictorial biography tells the story of the fascinating Hedy Lamarr, a glamorous movie star AND a serious scientist and inventor. She was dubbed 'The Most Beautiful Woman in the World,' yet she much preferred to be at home inventing rather than leading the exciting life of an internationally-famed star. She invented all kinds of wacky things, including a flavour-cube that changed plain water into soda, a glow-in-the-dark dog collar to help people find their pets at night, and a device to help people get in and out of the bathtub.
