Hedy Lamarr was born on this day in 1914. Once celebrated as “the most beautiful woman in the world,” she was actually a remarkable inventor who devised a system for remote-controlling torpedoes that became the basis for bluetooth and wifi

It’s Hedley
And the US essentially stole that patent
That’s probably the coolest thing I’ll read all day! Thanks for posting!
She’s the reason no one talks to each other in cafés.
Tell her where I live!
Happy heavenly birthday
Beautiful and intelligent. The perfect combination
She also received a US patent for her idea.
For me, her brain is what makes her beautiful.
She was a brilliant woman who was also beautiful and talented.
I heard she and Steve Buscemi were firefighters at 9/11.

That’s cool, but not really true.
Her invention paved the way for the sexist idiots to claim women have never invented anything online.
no she didnt. she invented nothing. show me this bluetooth shit she invented. she didnt even have a phone.
and she gave birth to Steve Jobs
I have a massive photo of her from Zeigfeld Girl in my bedroom. She’s my ultimate Hollywood crush.
Snow White’s face was inspired by her.
A true STEM girl
That’s Hedley.
“Hedley”
She also hatched the I’ll-fated attempt to destroy the town of Rock Ridge; in order to clear space for a railway project.
Not to be confused with Hedly Lamarr of the infamous Rock Ridge Incident foiled by Sheriff Black Bart and the Waco Kid.
Seriously, she was so much more than a pretty face and fetching figure.
Lou Ferrigno, Carl Sagan (and me and my twin brother) all share this birthday as well.
To all the folks who also referenced the Mel Brooks classic, “What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-going on here?”
She literally punched Hitler at the battle of the Ardennes after slogging through frozen mud for 17 miles in high heels, then cracked open a Budweiser and ate a sausage. The shape of the sausage led to her making several patents in aerodynamics.
They don’t make them like her anymore.
What about the sherrif?
She was both that title made it seem like you can’t be beautiful and smart.
Cool but let’s not say she invented Bluetooth and wifi
