Description
Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) was billed by Louis B. Mayer as “the world’s most beautiful woman,” but there was far more to this remarkable woman than MGM’s sexist billing would have you believe. Lamarr appeared in 30 films across a 28-year career in Europe and the United States; more importantly she was a gifted inventor who advised Howard Hughes on airplane design and pioneered the technology that forms the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems.
