This is Hedy Lamarr. She was an immigrant, an actress, and she helped create the technology used in WiFi and Bluetooth devices. You probably couldn’t be reading this without her contributions.
First of all how have I never heard of this amazing and incredibly gorgeous woman?? I needed to fact check this before reblogging, but yeah, she totally did all that!
And there is a documentary about her too. 😍
I loooove the title. Heartbreaker called me that once, so I have a soft spot for it.
Something to add to my watch list!
