Dr Julia Ravey and Dr Ella Hubber both have a love of science, but it turns out there鈥檚 a lot they don鈥檛 know about some of the leading women at the front of the inventing game. In Unstoppable, Dr Julia and Dr Ella tell each other the hidden, world-shaping stories of the engineers, innovators and inventors they wish they鈥檇 known about when they were starting out as scientists. This week, the story of the Hollywood starlet whose brilliant ideas would go on to revolutionise the way we live.

Known as the 鈥榤ost beautiful woman in film鈥� during the 1940s, Hedy Lamarr was one of the most in demand Hollywood actresses of her time. But she wasn鈥檛 just a movie star. From a young age, she also had a knack for inventing 鈥� she liked to take her toys apart just to see how they worked. And she carried this passion into her adult life 鈥� creating an invention that laid the groundwork for technology many of us couldn鈥檛 live without: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

But it didn鈥檛 come without struggle. Dr Julia and Dr Ella take us through Hedy鈥檚 remarkable journey, and we get a first-hand look into Hedy鈥檚 life from her daughter Denise Loder-DeLuca.
