Besides being an actress and a pretty face, she also helped develop an early technique for spread spectrum communications, which is the key to many wireless communications of our present day. Lamarr became a recluse later in life and died in her Florida home in the year 2000. Early Life Lamarr was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler on November 9, 1914, in Vienna, Austria. She was discovered by an Austrian film director as a teenager and gained international notice in 1933 for her role in the Czech film Ecstasy. She left her unhappy marriage to her husband Fritz Mandl who manufactured and sold arms to the Nazis. Lamarr fled to the United States and signed a contract with MGM under the name Hedy Lamarr. She became an immediate box office sensation upon releasing her first American film Algiers co-starring Charles Boyer. Lamarr was often referred to as one of the most beautiful and exotic women of olf Hollywood and made several well received films during the 1930s and 1940s. Notable among them were Lady of the Tropics (1939), co-starring Robert Taylor; Boom Town (1940), with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy; Tortilla Flat (1942), co-starring Tracy; and Samson and Delilah(1949), opposite Victor Mature. She was reportedly producer Hal Wallis's first choice for the heroine in his classic 1943 film, Casablanca, which eventually went to Ingrid Bergman. Here are some fascinating facts about Hedy Lamarr 1) Her first film was banned by the Pope and Hitler. Lamarr soared to international stardom at age 18 when she appeared in the 1933 Czech film Ecstasy. While some critics today had declared Ecstasy an arthouse classic, its nudity and sexual nature were considered scandalous when it was initially released. The Pope denounced the film in the Vatican newspaper, the Catholic Legion of Decency condemned it, and Hitler banned it in Germany – because Lamarr (then Hedy Kiesler) was Jewish. 2) She was the model for Snow White and Catwoman. Ink-black tresses, Cherry-red lips and a porcelain doll complexion. Lamarr's beauty was simultaneously classic and exotic, making her the perfect model for Disney's Snow White. Lamarr was also the inspiration for Catwoman in the original Batman comics. More recently, actress Anne Hathaway told The Washington Post that she studied Lamarr's voice while preparing for the role of Catwoman in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises. 3) She's a rock star at Google. Google paid tribute to Lamarr in a smart and stylish 2015 Google Doodle, celebrating her 101st birthday. According to Jennifer Hom, who designed the Doodle, Lamarr has "a kind of mythical status" at Google. "Within the nerd community at Google, Hedy Lamarr is a beloved figure," she remarked in a blog. "We love highlighting stories about women's achievements in science and technology. When the story involves a 1940s Hollywood star-turned-inventor who helped develop technologies we use with our smartphones today, we have to share it with the world."
