Sexy? And then what? Science? These two words seem inseparable, but in Hedy Lamarr's view, sexy? And then what? Science? There is no sense of disobedience.
Look at Heidi Rama's title, and you will know that her titles include but are not limited to:
The most beautiful woman in Hollywood, the actress who appeared naked for the first time, the actress who fully showed the female climax with facial expressions for the first time, the first actress who was inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF), and the mother of WiFi.
(Hedy Lamarr, the mother of WiFi)
The American Inventors' Hall of Fame (NIHF) is crowded with people who have made outstanding contributions to promoting human development, such as Edison, Marconi, Jobs, Wright brothers and so on.
Among them, Heidi Rama's brief introduction is that her invention is the pioneer of several wireless technologies used today, including cellular network, GPS and Bluetooth.
As a Jew, Hedy Lamarr devoted himself to improving the torpedo in order to fight against the Nazis, and got inspiration from playing the piano and invented? Frequency hopping technology? And donated the patent to the US government for free.

She helped the pilot designer to improve the wing and make the fuselage more in line with fluid mechanics. This is just the inspiration she got from the encyclopedia of birds and fish.
She actively participated in the promotion of war bonds and toured all over the country on behalf of the US government. She auctioned her own kiss, setting a record for her tour to raise $25 million, equivalent to $350 million today.
As the saying goes, beautiful women are unlucky and envy talents. This woman who combines beauty and talent lived to the age of 85.
At the age of 83, she was awarded the honorary technical medal by the American Electronic Frontier Foundation.
However, this seemingly perfect woman has an imperfect life.
Hedy Lamarr even hates her beauty. She thinks beauty is the original sin that brought her pain. She said:
For a long time, my face was my misfortune. It attracted six failed marriage partners and the wrong one to my boudoir. In the past 50 years, it has brought me tragedy and heartache. My face is a mask that cannot be taken off. I must be with it forever, but I curse it.
(Hedy Lamarr)
Heidi? Rama's father is a banker in Vienna, Austria, and his mother is a pianist in Budapest, Hungary.

Hedy Lamarr lived a rich life since childhood and received a good education. At the age of seven, she could perform ballet and piano music.
/kloc-when she was 0/6 years old, she gave up her communication major and followed the drama director Max? Reinhardt went to Berlin, Germany to study acting.
1933, 19-year-old Heidi Rama was invited by a film company in Czechoslovakia to play the heroine in the film Ecstacy, but she had to appear naked.

No actress has appeared naked before, but Hedy Lamarr despises traditional values. She said:
I hate all traditions, even art.
So it is called. Snow white? She agreed to this request and became the first actress to appear naked in film history.

In the second year after filming, Heidi followed Fritz, Austria's third richest man and arms tycoon, and fell madly in love with her because of the film. Mandel's flash marriage
But what about Fritz? Mandel is very possessive. He didn't want others to see Hedy Lamarr's elegance. He searched everywhere for "fascinated" CDs and tried his best to ban film copying.
Fritz? Mandel also banned Hedy Lamarr from the film industry. Finally, she was not even allowed to go out. Hedy Lamarr doesn't even have the freedom to swim and go to the streets.
He only allowed her to associate with senior Nazi officials, including Hitler and Mussolini, because her outstanding beauty and excellent communication skills could bring him more arms deals.
1937 Heidi walked out of a dinner party, knocked out her maid with drugs, jumped out of the window, took the train that day and fled to Paris, France, ending the marriage.
Hedy Lamarr had six marriages in his life, but all six failed. The shortest marriage lasted only one year, and the longest failed to last seven years.

Later, she was in Louis? Meyer introduced him to Hollywood.
Because of Hedy Lamarr's charming appearance, she doesn't even need acting. Cattle people bring their own feng shui, and Heidi Rama brings their own flash. Just posing can bring a lot of money to filmmakers.
Meanwhile, Heidi. Rama filmed representative works such as Desire for Flame, Siegfried Girl and Farewell to the Devil, and even set up his own film company.
Heidi not only starred in the first dew point film, but also published the first autobiography that leaked privacy, so it was controversial.
1958, at the age of 44, she officially bid farewell to the film industry. Hedy Lamarr lived a lonely life after leaving the film, living alone in an apartment in Florida, USA.
When Hedy Lamarr was Mandel's wife, she listened attentively to Mandel's discussion with weapons experts and learned some radio signal remote control torpedo and wireless communication jamming technology.
Later, Hedy Lamarr wanted to enhance her breast for her role in Siegfried Girl, and she met the pianist George? Ansel.
Ansel created movie music for Hollywood and studied human endocrine.
At first Heidi just regarded Ansel as a gland expert and asked him how to make her breasts bigger.
As a result, the two talked about how to operate the torpedo and how to breast augmentation. Ansel's suggestion can be realized by learning from the practice of automatic piano. Frequency hopping? This idea.
(Scientific research in Hedy Lamarr)
194 1 year, they completed this study for their? Frequency hopping? The design of this equipment has been patented. Radio? Frequency hopping technology? Is it 2 1 century? Spread spectrum communication technology? .
1942 In August, they obtained a patent certificate issued by the United States and donated this patent to the American government, hoping to help World War II.
However, the military completely underestimated this patent. Will the US Navy? Frequency hopping technology? It's sealed
For these officers and men, they are more interested in Hedy Lamarr himself.
(Hedy Lamarr and naval officers)
They persuaded Hedy Lamarr to use her unique talent to help the government sell war bonds, which, in their view, was more useful than Hedy Lamarr's patent.
However, Hedy Lamarr lived up to expectations. She auctioned 680 kisses for the American government and sold them for $25 million, equivalent to $350 million today.
It was not until the late 1950s that Heidi's invention was widely used in military computer chips. This technology has also inspired scientists and is widely used in the research and development of mobile phones, wireless phones and Internet protocols.
(Hedy Lamarr is in the army)
1997, the American Electronic Frontier Foundation awarded Heidi, the first applicant of this patent, fifty years ago. Rama? Electronic Frontier Fund-Pioneer Award? .
The award aims to recognize Heidi Rama's contribution to computer communication. Heidi, 83, is regarded as the mother of CDMA by scientists.
However, perhaps because of his unsatisfactory feelings and career, Hedy Lamarr began to degenerate in his later years and even became addicted to drugs. He was acquitted after being accused of theft in 1965. 199 1 year, he was accused of theft and was arrested again.
However, in many people's minds, Hedy Lamarr is still a perfect woman.
In 2004, Anthony Lord filmed a film called Born Heidi? Rama, in memory of his extraordinary mother. As he said:
Although she may have been forgotten by everyone, what she has done still affects generation after generation, and her beauty and soul have crossed time and space. ?
Dave, a famous engineer in the communications industry? Dave monk published biography "Qualcomm equation" records:
The exploration of spread spectrum communication comes from the discovery of an unexpected person, who is a beautiful and insightful female star Heidi? Rama. ?
20 14, Heidi? Rama was elected to the American Inventors Hall of Fame, becoming the only actress in history who was elected to the American invention and technology.

20 15, Heidi? The photo of Rama when she was young became the cover of the magazine again? It is no longer entertainment gossip, but American Invention and Technological Heritage magazine.
Hedy Lamarr has enviable conditions: golden figure, impeccable appearance, good family, natural beauty and extraordinary intelligence, so she is a perfect woman.
However, after a quick review of her 85-year long life, we find that her marriage is unfortunate, her patent has not been recognized for decades, and her life has been controversial.
It seems that no matter how perfect a person is, there is no perfect life, and life is like a play. Hedy Lamarr's characters are full of charm, but her plays make people cry.
Maybe we just play an ordinary or even humble role in life, and maybe no matter how hard we try, we can't change our script.
But we are the protagonists of our own lives, and we can choose to perform ourselves wonderfully, no matter how the script is arranged.
