Biography - HEDDY LAMARR
and screen presence made her one of the most popular actresses of her
day.
She was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler on November 9, 1914 in Vienna,
Austria. At 17 years old, Hedy starred in her first film, a German
project called Geld auf der Strase. Hedy continued her film career by
working on both German and Czechoslavakian productions. The 1932
German film Exstase brought her to the attention of Hollywood
producers, and she soon signed a contract with MGM.
Once in Hollywood, she officially changed her name to Hedy Lamarr and
starred in her first Hollywood film, Algiers (1938), opposite Charles
Boyer. She continued to land parts opposite the most popular and
talented actors of the day, including Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, and
Jimmy Stewart. Some of her films include an adaptation of John
As if being a beautiful, talented actress was not enough, Hedy was
also extremely intelligent. In addition to her film accomplishments,
Hedy patented an idea that later became the crutch of both secure
military communications and mobile phone technology. In 1942, Hedy and
composer George Antheil patented what they called the "Secret

World War II, involved changing radio frequencies simultaneously to
prevent enemies from being able to detect the messages. While the
technology of the time prevented the feasibility of the idea at first,
very important to both the military and the cell phone industry.
This impressive technological achievement combined with her acting
talent and star quality to make "the most beautiful woman in film" one
of the most interesting and intelligent women in the movie industry.
