海蒂·拉玛（Hedy Lamarr，1914，11，9-2000，1，19），好莱坞艳星，18岁成为世界影史第一位全裸出境女星，结过六次婚，因为太美貌，她的才能，一直不被认可。海蒂·拉玛曾于30年代初因为惊人的美貌被一位美国导演发掘，从此便踏入了好莱坞。作为出身显赫与各国军方高层私交密切的好莱坞巨星，曾被赞誉为全世界最美丽的女人。有意思的是，她其实数学和通信功底很深，是现代无线通信的核心专利跳频技术的第一发明者，CDMA、Wi-Fi等技术都以此为基础。2014年入选美国发明家名人堂。（详见：海蒂·拉玛_百度百科）

Although better known for her Silver Screen exploits, Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler) also became a pioneer in the field of wireless communications following her emigration to the United States. The international beauty icon, along with co-inventor George Anthiel, developed a "Secret Communications System" to help combat the Nazis in World War II. By manipulating radio frequencies at irregular intervals between transmission and reception, the invention formed an unbreakable code to prevent classified messages from being intercepted by enemy personnel.

Lamarr and Anthiel received a patent in 1941, but the enormous significance of their invention was not realized until decades later. It was first implemented on naval ships during the Cuban Missile Crisis and subsequently emerged in numerous military applications. But most importantly, the "spread spectrum" technology that Lamarr helped to invent would galvanize the digital communications boom, forming the technical backbone that makes cellular phones, fax machines and other wireless operations possible.

As is the case with many of the famous women inventors, Lamarr received very little recognition of her innovative talent at the time, but recently she has been showered with praise for her groundbreaking invention. In 1997, she and George Anthiel were honored with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award. And later in the same year, Lamarr became the first female recipient of the BULBIE™ Gnass Spirit of Achievement Award, a prestigious lifetime accomplishment prize for inventors that is dubbed "The Oscar™ of Inventing."

Proving she was much more than just another pretty face, Lamarr shattered stereotypes and earned a place among the 20th century's most important women inventors. She truly was a visionary whose technological acumen was far ahead of its time.
