timjonheath@gmail.com Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Not many know this it seems! A while back I picked up a Vintage Autograph book from our local flea marker and was quite pleased to find among others two vintage ink signed photographs of the actress Hedy Lamarr. Now why post this on here you might ask?? Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian born actress probably most known for her role alongside Victor Mature in Samson and Delilah, regarded by many directors and fans in her heyday as one of the most beautiful women in the world she was certainly a beauty with brains. She was not only a model and actress but also an inventor!!! In WW2 she developed a torpedo guidance system for US Navy torpedo's though not adopted until the 1960's her invention which incorporated an electrical jamming system was later recognised as the forerunner to the WI-FI and Bluetooth systems of today. She has since been recognised for this valuable work and inducted into the inventors hall of fame as such. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
