Hedy Lamarr died in January 2000 aged 86 in a modest home in Florida. During her life she was quoted as saying "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid." While she was certainly glamorous, as proven by her invention, she was most certainly not stupid.

Sadly, in Half-Life 2: Episode Two Lamarr goes to sleep inside Arne Magnusson's rocket a few minutes before firing. Kleiner notices that the rocket is eight and a half pounds heavier than it should be, but not realizing the significance, he and Magnusson dismiss this as an anomaly and decide to fire anyway, probably sending Lamarr into space.
