Hedy Lamarr was born Hedwig Maria Eva Kiesler in Vienna, Austria on November 9, 1914 to Emil and Gertrud Kiesler.

The biggest issue for Hedy while she was married to Friz was that she was not allowed to work, she described her marriage to him as “Being kept in the Gilded Cage” and she eventually had to escape the marriage and flee to Paris. This is where she eventually met up Louis B Mayer, a talent scout in Europe, who helped her move to America, change her name to Hedy Lamarr, and begin her Hollywood career.

But Hedy had a will to help with the war efforts, so she went on a campaign to sell war bonds through the influence of her celebrity status.

Hedy eventually died on January 19, 2000 in her home in Casselberry, FL, ironically enough she spent most of her last few years in seclusion only communicating with her family via a cellphone, the very technology her invention helped create.
