Hedy Lamarr
Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) was an Austrian-born Hollywood actress and inventor who, during World War II, co-invented a frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for torpedo radio guidance with composer George Antheil. Patented in 1942, their 'Secret Communication System' was decades ahead of its time and became a foundational technology for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. She embodied two identities: 'the most beautiful woman in the world' and an unrecognized mother of modern wireless communication.
