From us at DTB HAPPY POSTHUMOUS 101 birthday to Hedy Lamarr(born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler), an Austrian and American film actress and inventor who pioneered WiFi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology that we enjoy today.

Hedy, had a brief film career in Germany, which included a controversial love-making scene in the film Ecstasy (1933), she fled from her husband and secretly moved to Paris. There, she met MGM head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood, where she became a film star from the late 1930s to the 1950s.

Lamarr appeared in numerous popular feature films, including Algiers (1938) with Charles Boyer, I Take This Woman (1940) with Spencer Tracy, Comrade X (1940) with Clark Gable, Come Live With Me (1941) with James Stewart, H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941) with Robert Young, and Samson and Delilah (1949) with Victor Mature.Director Max Reinhardt called her the "most beautiful woman in Europe," a sentiment widely shared by her audiences and critics
