Hollywood actress, without which it would not have worked your cell phone and Wi-Fi

Perhaps today she would have no chance to do without silicone plastics. But in the early 30's people appreciated the natural beauty, so the crowd of men in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic lustfully looked at a young nymph, starring in the film "Ecstasy».
Film banned, cursed, cut, but that did not matter. Europe learned a new name - lit star Hedy Kiesler.







Millionaires and aristocrats tried to win her heart, and she made her choice - it was the manufacturer, an arms dealer, Austrian millionaire 33-year-old Fritz Mandl. One of the largest states in Europe Mandl had made by selling the newest weapons systems of Germany, in violation of the Versailles Treaty.

The newlyweds settled in a luxurious castle near Salzburg, they were surrounded by beautiful landscapes, thoroughbred horses, luxury cars. What else do you need in life? But Hedi was not enough. She missed at social events with indifference was present at the negotiations husband with politicians, scientists, businessmen.







Then it all got sick, and she in the best tradition of Hollywood ... Hollywood fled. He escapes Hedi uniformed maid. Get a divorce in Paris, she went to London, and from there - to New York.

On the ship "Normandie", it is sent from London to New York. The actress will not have to pester in Hollywood film debut in 1933 was too loud to be forgotten filmmakers. However, in order not to cause similar associations from the puritan US public, it is advised to take a pseudonym. Hedy Kiesler gets Hedy Lamarr. Right on the "Normandy" she signed a lucrative contract with the very founder of the MGM Louis Meyer. A new round of dizzying career unfolds. A total of Hedy Lamarr earned filmings $ 30 million.







Their new-found star plunges headlong into a new life - in films, is getting married. Once, twice ... In all, Hedi had six attempts, and everyone is happy.

Meanwhile in Europe, the blaze of war, fascism devoured Europe.
Hedi is very close to my heart took everything that was happening in her homeland. She had herself was Jewish. Hedi sometimes thought of her husband, a Jew who supplied weapons to Nazi Germany.

She recollected all conversations witnessed it happened to be. Laboratory Mandla worked to create various types of guided weapons. Case-by-wire, try out the cannon shells turned out to be inapplicable in the aquatic environment, and torpedoes were invited to the compound on the radio. Yes, yes, in the memory of Hedi surfaced fragments of these disputes, technical terms, gradually evolved into a mosaic.







Hedy realized that may be useful to his country. She picked up the books, notebook and pencil. And then began the most incredible of what you can imagine.

It's really that simple! How did they previously did not understand? Technology interference-free radio seems obvious: you just have all the time to change the frequency at random over a wide range, in some way by synchronizing the transmitter and the receiver!

Surprisingly, it was much harder to make believe the scientific community is that you can not only languid smile ...







And here before us is not just beauty, but the man whose inventions we use every day.

  • The man in the picture has invented what is now underlies the systems of GSM, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11.
  • The man developed the principles of data encryption for permanent uncovered links. < /
  • Thanks to her, you are sitting in a network of Wi-Fi, without fear that someone else will sit on your channel, because the technology Secret Communication System does not allow anyone from the "wedge" in a communication channel.






    Enthusiasts of wireless computer networks, accidentally digging up this incredible story, Hedi tried to present to the medal of honor of the Congress and to the award IEEE - unsuccessfully. Only in 1997 she received an award fund of Electronic Frontier. "It's time" - such was her reaction. Lamarr refused to attend the ceremony and did not take journalists. "I do not think I look bad, just do not want to see anybody." The award was her only son, Anthony Lowder.

    For his contribution to the achievements of cinema Hedy Lamarr was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Birthday actress - November 9 - Day of the inventor named in the US.
