The “most beautiful woman in Europe” due to her “strikingly dark exotic looks” – Max Reinhardt said and many others agree.
Yes, she is unbelievably beautiful and we all know her from the big screens, especially from the closeups of her character in Gustav Machatý’s Ecstasy during an orgasm scene.
What many of you don’t know is the main reason why Hendy Lamarr was so special to the world.
The Austrian actress was also an inventor!
Along with co-inventor George Anthiel, they developed a “Secret Communications Systems” to help combat the Nazis in World War II.
Basically, they paved the road for today’s wireless communications.
