Look at her, doesn't she look like a gorgeous actress? That's because she was!

During the World War II era, Hedy Lamarr pioneered communication technology that would in later years form the basis of modern WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth. From a young age, she developed an interest in taking objects apart to learn the mechanics behind them and she was brilliant in doing so. However, her brilliancy was overshadowed by her beauty especially in media when she became an actress.

Her fame eventually led her to meet George Antheil at a dinner party who shared her innovative scientific spirit, They came up with a communication system involving frequency hopping among radio waves in order to avoid interception during the war. Although the Navy decided against the implementation of this invention, this was a critical pathway for modern technology. It wasn't until years later, toward the end of her life, that she finally began to receive recognition for her invention.
