Hedy Lamarr, celebrated as one of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses of the 1940s, was sadly overlooked as an important inventor. Despite her fame from films like "Algiers" and "Samson and Delilah," few knew of her brilliance. Lamarr co-invented frequency hopping technology during World War II, a method to prevent enemy interception of torpedo signals. This innovation became the foundation for modern wireless communications, including GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi. Her contributions, however, went unrecognized for decades, overshadowed by her acting career. Today though, she is rightly remembered not just for her beauty, but for her lasting impact on technology. #shorts
