The last century was an era of rapid changes in the world, and in that era, there was such a woman. She has unparalleled beauty and was once called the most beautiful woman in the world. She was too beautiful to be considered a powerful person. She was the first naked female star in film history. She could bring huge amounts of money to film producers with just a move of her fingers. But she is not only beautiful, she is also the only actress in history to be selected for "American Inventions and Technology". One invention was once valued at 30 billion US dollars.
This legendary woman is named Hedy Lamarr. She was born in Vienna on November 9, 1914, and grew up during World War I. However, his family was very wealthy, he had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, and he received a good education. I did well in ballet and piano music, and my grades were relatively good, especially in mathematics. But what Heidi was interested in as a girl was acting. For this reason, despite her parents' objections, she gave up studying correspondence and turned to acting. Because of his excellent appearance, he was selected by a director in 1931 to star in his first film "Money on the Street".
The next year, she was invited to star in "Charmed". This film was intended to be promoted internationally from the beginning, but it had a unique requirement that was difficult for ordinary people to accept. That was the situation of being naked. Heidi agreed and became the first actress in film history to leave the country naked. But the result is that people are arguing endlessly about this. On the one hand, she does have a delicate face and a graceful figure. On the other hand, she is too bold to be naked. For this reason, she has been banned in many countries.
In 1938, she starred in "The Ghost of the Cape" and created the image of a dark-haired beauty. This broke the tradition of blonde beauties dominating the screen and was hailed by Hollywood as the most beautiful woman in the world. Since then, she has had many works. But compared to her many works, people are more concerned about her invention. Before talking about this invention, we have to talk about her marriage. Heidi had six failed marriages in her life, the first of which was to the Austrian arms tycoon Mandel, a Jew who supported the Nazis.
Because of "Charmed", Mandel became deeply fascinated by Heidi, and they fell in love at first sight a year later. Three months later, she got married in a flash. After the marriage, Mandel did not allow her to get involved in the film industry, but he exposed her to wireless communication technology. Mandel was a military supplier to the Nazis, so it was not surprising that he had access to these highest-level military secrets, and he often discussed related technologies with weapons experts.
He allowed Heidi to even record, and Heidi learned a lot of advanced technologies. Later, in March 1938, the Nazis entered Austria. As an opponent of the Nazis, she escaped from Austria. The next year, Heidi met musician George Antheil in the United States with the intention of studying how to enlarge breasts. As a result, the topic somehow turned to weapons, and Antel suggested that he could learn from the automatic piano to achieve frequency hopping. Under this inspiration.
In the early 1940s, Heidi and Antheil developed radio "frequency hopping technology", which solved the technical bottleneck of a separate wireless signal channel. In the 21st century, this technology is called spread spectrum. Communication technology. After she obtained the patent certificate, she hoped to donate the patent to the United States so that it could help during World War II. However, when the military heard that the technical inspiration came from the piano, they found it very ridiculous. They were more interested in Heidi herself than her drawings.
At that time, the military said that since it loves the United States, it should use her beautiful face in the right place. Since then, she has been actively involved in promoting war bonds, going to benefit performances in various places, and came up with the idea of ??auctioning Heidi's kiss. One tour raised $25 million, which was equivalent to $350 million in 2016, of which she gave 680 kisses. After the 1950s, frequency hopping technology began to be used, but the name of the inventor has been erased. It wasn't until 1997, when CDMA-based communication technology came to the public, that people remembered Heidi and called her the mother of CDMA.
Heidi was 83 years old at the time, and three years later she was found dead in her bed at home at the age of 86. In the years around Heidi’s death, inventions from decades ago had been valued at $30 billion. It has been applied to various fields, the most important aspect of which is WIFI technology that can be seen everywhere today. In 2014, Hedy Lamarr was inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame, and is admired by future generations together with Watt, Bell, Tesla and others.
