Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler was born on November 9, 1914 in Vienna, Austria. The striking movie star may be most well-known for her roles in the 1940s Oscar-nominated films ‘Algiers’ and ‘Samson and Delilah.’ But it is her technical mind that is her greatest legacy. At 17 years old, Hedy starred in her first film, a German project called Geld auf der Strase. The 1932 German film Exstase brought her to the attention of Hollywood producers, and she soon signed a contract with MGM. Once in Hollywood, she officially changed her name to Hedy Lamarr and starred in her first Hollywood film, Algiers (1938). In 1942, during the heyday of her career, Lamarr earned recognition in a field quite different from entertainment. She and her friend, the composer George Antheil, received a patent for an idea of a radio signaling device, or "Secret Communications System ”, a patented device which manipulated the radio frequencies at irregular intervals during reception or transmission. The early version of the frequency hopping technique was met with disapproval by the United States navy and therefore was not adopted. Their idea was not used by the navy until 1962 when the military used it for a Cuban blockade; the patent had by then already expired. In April of 1953 Lamarr became a naturalized American citizen at the age of 38. Her “Ecstasy in Me” autobiography was published in 1956, although she later stated that much of it was fiction. Even in the 1970s, she was offered scripts, commercials for television, and stage projects. Lamarr wasn't instantly recognized for her communications invention since its wide ranging impact wasn't understood until decades later. In 1997, the invention was honored by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Today, the work done by Lamarr and Anthiel is the basis for the modern spread-spectrum communication technology. It is the idea behind Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connections, and GPS. Lamarr’s beauty and glamor got her noticed, but they also meant her intellectual talents were ignored - and she was a brilliant woman. #herstory #womenshistorymonth #timeless
