It's HEDLEY!

He says it many times in the film.

The name "Hedley Lamarr" was, obviously, a play on Hedy Lamarr, who sued the filmmakers for using her name.

Mel Brooks did not even try to defend against this. He is a huge admirer of her. He thought it was appropriate to pay her and apologise for any offence she may have taken from the gag. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQef9PqjKbG/

No it’s not? Her Wikipedia page says “Hedy”

It’s a quote from a running joke in the film Blazing Saddles

It's a reference to a famous Mel Brooks cowboy comedy (Unforgiven, 1992)

Which itself was a sequel to Brooks's first and underappreciated Western, The Wild Bunch (1969)

The stories of Hedy Lamarr and the computer women at NASA get repeated endlessly as if they're the only contributions women have ever made to CS, which must be absolutely discouraging to the young girls who are interested enough to dig deeper and find out that Hedy's contribution was essentially negligible.

It'd be much better to talk about Liskov, Goldberg, the women at Bluetooth SIG, or the countless other examples available.

It will be even more discouraging now that the well actually guys will say that it wasn't true...
relaxing•42m ago
What’s discouraging is seeing that any contribution by a woman is going to be picked over and minimized.
relaxing•46m ago
Bizarre “research.” Why go out of your way to cast doubts on Lamarr’s contributions to the patent. He offers no evidence, or even a compelling theory as to why she would wrongly have her name on it.

> Lamarr … may have contributed little to the insignificant invention actually taught by the Lamarr-Antheil patent.

Sounds like he’s got a chip on his shoulder over… something. Despicable stuff.

readthenotes1•41m ago
For my reading he didn't cast out on the patent - - the first six parts were granted to her. Only the part that would have contributed to what most people talk about turns out to be not granted because of "previous art" , that is, someone else beat her to it

I have noticed this behavior in dudes, where they go far outside of the norm in trying to take down womens' achievements.
