Hedwig Eva Maria Keiser, better known as Hedy Lamarr, was an Austrian-American actress and inventor, born on November 9, 1914. Besides her successful film career in the 1930s and 1940s, she co-invented a frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology during World War II, which later contributed to the development of modern wireless communication. Lamarr's innovative work went largely unrecognized during her lifetime, but she has since been celebrated for her contributions to science and technology alongside her cinematic achievements. She passed away on January 19, 2000.
