She was part of 30 films in an acting career spanning 28 years and co-invented an early version of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum. She noticed that radio-controlled torpedoes, an emerging technology in naval war, could easily be jammed and set off course.

They drafted designs for the frequency-hopping system, which also got patented by Hedy.
