Hedy Lamarr
Article Abstract:
Hedy Lamarr was an actress who was perceived as a temptress and came from Vienna, Austria. She starred with a number of major US actors, such as Clark Gable and John Garfield, and her movies made money, but her talent was not always well used by Hollywood. She may have been affected by a move away from her own environment, and by the emphasis on wholesomeness in Hollywood. She was intelligent as well as beautiful, and developed a device for military commnications with a composer called George Antheil.
