"My name is Hedy Lamarr (/ˈhɛdi/; born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler; November 9, 1914[a] – January 19, 2000) I was an Austrian-born American actress and inventor. After a brief early film career in Czechoslovakia, including the controversial erotic romantic drama Ecstasy (1933), I fled from my first husband, Friedrich Mandl, and secretly moved to Paris. Traveling to London, I met Louis B. Mayer, who offered me a film contract in Hollywood. I became a film star with my performance in the romantic drama Algiers (1938). I achieved further success with the Western Boom Town (1940) and the drama White Cargo (1942). My most successful film was the religious epic Samson and Delilah (1949). I also acted on television before the release of my final film in 1958. I was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960."

"At the beginning of World War II, along with George Antheil, I co-invented a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of radio jamming by the Axis powers. However, the technology was never adopted."
