Description
"The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" was used to describe 1940's actress Hedy Lamarr. Known for her matchless beauty and electric screen persona, Lamarr's legion of fans never knew she possessed such a beautiful mind. An Austrian-Jewish emigre, who acted by day, and drew mechanical and electronic inventions by night, Lamarr came up with a "secret communication system" to help the Allies to beat the Nazis.
