Hedy Lamarr born November 9, 1914, and Death at 86 on January 19, 2000, a marvels woman who at the age of 16 became a star of the silver screen. Also, being an inventor winning the award in 1997, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award and later became the first woman to receive the BULBIE Gnass Spirit of Achievement Bronze Award.

Although Lamarr died in 2000, she was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014 was dubbed as the mother of Wi-Fi. Lamarr has token a book about fish and another book about birds and look in each book to see the fastest species in each book. Soon after finding them, she started drafting fins and wings for a plane design and soon she shows Hughes. He said to Lamarr, You are a genius.

As a successful inventor as her, surprises me that she had the time to all so be Hollywood star as well. But she did that as more of a side hustle rather than a main job for her. During when she use to do movies such as Geld auf der Strabe (Money on the Street), She had a small table inventing set in her trailer and between takes she would spend that time inventing things.
