Hedy Lamarr as Lucienne Talbot in 'Crossroads' 1942, one of the five major film noir movies in which Lamarr appeared.

During the time of this film (early 1940s), Lamarr not only acted, but also developed inventions, including the frequency-hopping technology patented in 1942, the basis of modern wireless communications.
