I keep finding myself going down Wikipedia rabbit holes. Finding out all sorts about people I've never been remotely interested in.
For instance I was reading all about the Hollywood actress Hedi Lamarr. She was said to be the most beautiful woman in the world but apart from that she had the most amazing scientific talents and was the inventor of a radar device developed for underwater missiles during the war.

Is there anyone else anyone can recommend reading up on?

All. The. Time

Especially when I watch old black and white films. I know everyone will no longer be here, so I look them up. Then one leads to another. You read about all these vaudeville silent film stars etc and you realise that Hollywood is so tame compared to what it used to be!!

Crikey. She was a handful. Surprised she wasn't arrested for what she did to Gary Cooper.
