Eminent Annotated Bibliography

Works Cited

Antheil, George. Bad Boy of Music. Samuel French, 1945. Book.

This book, written by a close, respected friend of Hedy Lamarr, effectively demonstrates the type of relationship Lamarr and Antheil share. As well, the book further outlines the first-hand experiences of Hedy Lamarr’s mind and way of thinking. I found this book useful because of the insight it gave to Hedy Lamarr’s character. Antheil describes events leading up to, and during, the invention of “frequency hopping”, and he further goes on to describe, in-depth, his continued relationship with Lamarr in later years.
