“The most beautiful woman in the world” was the label that MGM slapped on Hedy Lamarr, one of the most ravishing stars of the Hollywood Golden Age.
By day she was the ultimate silver-screen siren, sizzling through the 1940s in “bad girl” roles. Yet by night Lamarr was a secret inventing genius whose passion for innovation spawned the wireless communication technology we take for granted today. Put it this way: without her there might be no WiFi, no Bluetooth and even no smartphones.
