Since it’s International Women’s Day, I would like to put the spotlight on a very underrated classic Hollywood lady: Hedy Lamarr. Not only was she a famous actress, she was also an inventor who helped invent the system behind Wi-fi and Bluetooth. That’s right: she was not only a beautiful and talented actress, she was also highly intelligent and inventive.  But Hedy was also a strong woman: she was married to a controlling and rich husband and had to disguise herself and flee from her native Austria to get away from him. Afterwards she reinvented herself as a glamorous actress and stunned Hollywood, where she was called ‘the most beautiful woman alive’.

In Memoriam

Hedy Lamarr

(9th of November 1914 - 19th of January 2000)

”I’d say it is that I face things, however unpleasant. I also think I see myself in my true colors and don’t ever close my eyes to my faults.” - Hedy Lamarr on her best quality

”Hedy invented as a hobby. Since she made two or three movies a year, each one taking about a month to shoot, she had spare time to fill.” - Hedy’s Folly: The Life And Breakthrough Inventions Of Hedy Lamarr, The Most Beautiful Woman In The World

I don’t think all writers are sad . I think it’s the other way around —– all sad people write.
