Inventor and actress Hedy Lamarr would be 100 years old today. Lamarr was best known in her lifetime for her job as an MGM film star in the 1930s and 1940s, often playing a smoky-eyed glamor girl. In real life, Lamarr had hard intelligence behind those beautiful eyes.
Lamarr worked with avant-garde composer George Antheil on the idea of frequency hopping spread-spectrum. This concept was used to create Bluetooth and other components of modern wireless networks, so when you're on a Netflix binge, thank Hedy.
