Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian actress and inventor who gained fame for her roles in classic films such as "Algiers" and "Samson and Delilah." Beyond her acting career, Lamarr made significant contributions to technology, co-inventing a frequency-hopping spread spectrum that later became essential for modern wireless communications. Her dual achievements in entertainment and invention have made her a notable figure in both fields.
