Hedy Lamarr's 101st Birthday Google Doodle


Hedy Lamarr was a scientist, actor and 'the world's most beautiful woman. She escaped her abusive husband and ran away to Hollywood. She invented technology to help defeat the Nazi's in World War-II

Today would have been her 101st birthday, and Google have marked the date with a Google Doodle to celebrate Lamarr's rich and colourful life.
Born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna, Austria in 1914, she was the daughter of a banker and a pianist, and of Jewish descent.
Her first notable film appearance was in the German film Ecstasy, created in 1933, when she was 18 years old.
