She had ZERO formal training. She was just a genius from another world.
She worked with Howard Hughes engineers when she dated him.
probably had the potential to become one of the most brilliant minds in the universe.. the likes of Tesla, Feynman, Rutherford, Einstein... but patriarchy, prejudice, skepticism did not allow that to happen... it was a different world back then... and yet she did what she could within her means... and we will be forever grateful for all that she gave us
I'm afraid I do not accept the thing about her genius it was the composer who was into computers, science etc admittedly they worked on it together for her a diversional kind of hobby instigated by him he being obviously infatuated with her and gave her much of the credit ,he was a married man he and his wife her friends. He probably was not that much of a temptation for her ? She had bigger and better fish to fry? If she had been such a genius she would have learned to speak better English and would have been a far better actress and more accepted socially by other women better able to handle their envy and not resorted to shoplifting and ugly cheap plastic surgery in the end. I believe she was more beautiful than Vivienne Leigh with stronger more moulded features and she was taller too. Both of course had beautiful facial features. Both had unhappy endings to their lives obviously being that attractive to men is no guarantee for a happy life.
@@bluewrenreilly129 Nice story. Do you know of any other scientific works or invention credited to that composer in question?
Arrogance, envy, xenofovy, sexism, hipocresy, discrimination..sins all way plage in USA..
@@bluewrenreilly129 You are trying your best to demean her. Jealous type huh?
Mine lands man. We wouldn't have cellular phones if not for her. Beauty and brains.
This is one of the best short videos on her life that I have seen. I have known of Hedy for a while and, as a tech guy, I really appreciated the indepth and concise way the frequency hopping invention was explained in this video. I was unaware of the Howard Huges connection. She was , as I like to say, 'all that and brains too".
Yeah but this video didn't accurately describe how she presented her new tech to Congress, only to be rebuffed.
My Goodness!! What a awesome woman she was!!!
She should be recognized for her contributions to the world..
Hedy Lamarr was born Hedwig Eva Marie Kiesler in Austria in 1914. At the start of WW II, she escaped with her mother out of Hitler's Austrian concentration camps; but her father and uncle were imprisoned there and ended up in Hitler's concentration camps which he built them starting in 1933 and he declared war on the US and the Allies in 1939, almost six years later. Hedwig also lost her first husband the concentrations camps also. She made it big in Paramount Studios in the late 1940s and 1950s. She appeared in many of the movies with Turkish hats, intrigue and betrayals of Jews during WW II. Most of the movies were shot on sound stages in Paramount Studios. She was beloved by a lot of fans. She was considered the most beautiful actress in Hollywood, with her beautiful eyes and was considered very hard to be attained by any man. It was Louis B. Mayer that named her Hedy Lamarr -- Vic Alexander
Hitler did not declare war on the USA in 1939.

Hedy Lamarr was a brilliant mind, a very successful actress and a very beautiful woman. The "lamenting" tone of the narration is as if she was forgotten or neglected. She was Hollywood royalty who, ON TOP of her career in the movies, managed to also contribute to electrical engineering. Her life and achievements are to be celebrated, not lamented....And the whole thing about her being "exploited' for profit, is fashionable, but still meaningless. She was in show business. She herself used her looks as a career tool, as she had every right to do so - it was her looks!! Looks are a passport in this business, and there's nothing wrong with that. The fact that she was so much more, is a credit to her. Certainly it is a pity that people failed to see how much more than just a beauty she was.
What an amazing life and truly and inspiration!
I'm here because of Jeff's and Johnny's new song. Thank you both. I knew nothing about this women.
She was an amazing woman, and so beautiful.
She was a panelist on what’s my line, which is where I first saw her watching those threeones on UA-cam which led me to find out more about her. I’m glad I did that was a great segment nice job👍🏻
Thanks to Johnny Depp many people will become Aware of Miss Lamar & her achievements.
Amazing is a gross understatement!!!!!
God bless Hedy Lamarr. God places creativity in beautiful packages !!!
Stunning and a brilliant brain!
She is a superstar today.She must have been helped by working with Hugh's engineers though she would have had more access to schools if male
Her inventions made around one billion dollars. She never saw a dime of it.
A very clever woman. I first heard of her on a PBS NOVA from a few years back. I gather that the major issue was that of multiplexing? These days, such issues are accomplished with a bit of integrated electronics or a specific chip? Previous times, such issues would have been done with a small DC motor spinning a conductive wiper with a circumference of conductive contacts. Suggesting that there may have been issues of contracts. Interesting that the Navy "rediscovered" this patent a year after it became noneffective, don't you think? As I understand it, the 'small DC motor' trick had been done with some of the early satellites by the US, so if weight and volume weren't an issue with these later orbiting widgets, it would be unlikely that such issues might not have mattered with WWII era torpedoes. Reenter the issues of contracts.
I learned about Hedy while in RADAR repair school in the 1990's. The instructor explained she held the patent on frequency hopping which she developed to foil frequency jamming.
Hedy was God given! A woman with a calling!
SUPERB VIDEO. LOVED IT. THIS SHOULD BE SHOWN IN SCHOOLS. EXCELLENT.
The incredibly beautiful inventor. She was a one of a kind~
As a 5 or 6 year old she took apart a wind up clock, and put it back together in working order. She was always interested in how things work.
A truly modern person, decades ahead of her time.
Hollywood ruined Hedy's career just like it ruined so many actors when they were of no commercial value.
Thanks for this upload👍
Sounds like Howard Hughes is the one who gave her her first break in technology and invention.
I knew it as Frequency Shift Keying (FSK).
Why do you cut off clips explaining some of the coolest parts of her? She changed Hughes’ mind on wing design by showing him birds and fish!
...that's HEDLEY LAMAR!!!
This is 1874. You'll be able to sue _her._ 😉
Hedley sued Mel Brooks. True story.
That’s Hedy!
Earth to commenters: the inference here that Hedy Lamarr invented frequency hopping is absolutely not true. There were many patents for it before hers. Her patent simply covers the piano roll method that she hoped could be used in torpedoes. It could not, and it also has no application whatsoever in Wi-Fi communications today. Frequency Hopping itself, which she did not invent, was considered in the original research into Wi-Fi but is not used. Hedy was no doubt a remarkable woman but reality can be remarkable too!
JD song about her took me here… wow!
Smart Woman and Bold!
A brilliant woman
I remember Hedy Lamarr on the cover of Corel Draw 8.
Her being dismissed out of hand for being a woman shows how literally and functionally STUPID those males were in the day. She deserves all the accolades that any other male scientist and in my opinion, she deserves more: I'm using a phone for this past and I think of her occasionally as the mother of the system I use every day.
She was a scientist. She didn’t get the recognition she deserved.
She was cheated the same way Tesla was.💯💯💯💯
Huh? Makes no sense.
SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED MOVIE STAR A GENIOUS IN HER OWN TIME SHE INVENTED WI FI AND INTERNET SHE WAS FAR AHEAD OF HER TIME A LEGEND................
I liked all the victims' remarks at the end.
Hedy Lamar had no one lead her by the hand or hold the door open. She just planned what to do, then went and did it. Why don't the victims do that?
Why don't they found an Amazon, a Facebook, or a Microsoft? Then they could hire all women, have all women executives, and all-woman boards of directors.
No need for a 50%-quota set-aside to hold the door open.
That’s “Hedley.”
Sorry.
She still lived a good life.😃
Why do they show an aircraft carrier as the kids rescue boat.
Eu me chama Edilamar 😊
Typecast not typecasted
It's incorrect to say before spread spectrum technology the world only communicated with wireless technology.
Have a look at all the underwater submarine cables or Marconi's Trans Atlantic Radio Telephone Company.
That's headly Lamarr
3:55 D-DAY?? never saw that before
Without WiFi, I couldn't watch degrading porn while making sandwiches. Thank you, Heddy!
she was a babe. smart
Hedy Lamar was a true heroine yet I fail to see how you bring abortion into this!
Delilah!🗣
Brilliant women
Spelt...Hedley
Hedly!
The US Navy did not use radio control torpedos !
REspect
....."Hedley".....!!!
Howard Hughes hit on my grandma's sister even thou she was wearing a wedding ring she worked at a airport .
Actually... science and actresses are normal now ..
She acts for funds ...
Her acting supports her inventing ..
It’s like Disney movies support military inventions ..
0:36 The name "Kiesler" is being badly mispronounced.
It is pronounced KEEZ ler.
@@choxxxieful Actually, because it is German, the "S" is pronounced as an s: "Keesler". In German, only the S at the start of a word, has the "Z" sound, as with "Sonder" or "Siegfried". Words like Kiesler, Kessler, or West, have the S in the middle, so S retains it's nature.
Not just another pretty face
Hello Joe Nierman ...Hedy loves you!!
Beauty with brain🧠🧠
Hughes = hues not hewgz!
Great video until the political commentary at the end
What a beautiful and amazing woman
"A devious Hollywood actress"???
No se vendan ni vendan a nadie
Too bad you had to include political jargon to an otherwise excellent presentation.
I'm not sure how you go from "Hedy Lamarr is smart, beautiful and an inspiration" to "we need legal abortion."
@izzykhach No, I think you are a women hater who is consciously getting off on treating women badly.
Every time you can put down a woman or hurt her feelings,
you have sexually raped her~ consciously you monsters feel good because deep down in their hidden brain, you are impotent and fear women,
I found this @izzykhach so this is your real reason! You wrote "I am a straight man who is attracted to women sexually but also for her to, in private, strip me completely naked and dress me in different outfits, lingerie, panties, dresses, ect. And punish me with femdom bdsm, clothes pinns and some sounding. Like i said i am straight, like women. Why is a discreet woman like that so hard to find.
Not sure how you can't
Nikola TESLA technology.
Stop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names.
So sad
8:02-8:06 that wireless telephone connected to the fire hydrant and the umbrella? That's from 1922, well before Hedy Lamarr's [phenomenal] work. EDIT: a-a-nd... then the video went "woke". 🤮 (I was broadly democratic in the '80s, haven't changed much, but probably qualify as conservative now simply by the radical left-shift in politics the past few years: you can keep that noise)

Wi-Fi is a Muslim invention by Dr Hatim Zaghool
It was stared by WiLAN 1991 in Calgary with Patents purchased from Hedy Lamarr
Dr Hatim even published his books in the 80s
Cisco and other companies pay for royalties to use these patents
Calgary also having the First Wi-Fi network in Calgary Launched by Calgary.
This video is clearly trying to rewrite history with its imperialism
Hedy actually created Wi-fi, she is honored and respected because of her development of frequency hopping. She did this to help the Navy.
@@keoshabarnes1757 yes Hatim purchased a patent from her and used his patents to make wifi possible. Hatim goes back to 70-80s and then even Started WiLAN over 30 years ago
What a tiresome woke slant on a great woman.
Bah! The Soviets sank a German passenger ship with over 10,000 people on board. Over 5,000 children died. To hell with the Titantic.
Ten thousand people on one ship? Please provide a reference.
@@david203 ua-cam.com/video/JIlcP1fW5I4/v-deo.html
@@david203 When I was in Germany, in 1964, I met a German girl whose mother and 2 sisters were supposed to be on the ship but her mother had ty[phus and was not allowed on board.
@@michaelwhisman That is a story, not a reliable reference to the claim that there was ever a ship anywhere that carried 10,000 people at the same time.
Total rubbish. She wasn’t an engineer. She didn’t invent airplane wings of any use. Basic frequency hopping was already common. Radio waves can’t reach a torpedo. Also many practical deal-killers with the idea of an airplane controlling a torpedo. So said a review committee. And it’s not “spread spectrum” in any modern way. And oh, her efforts as a director were a disaster, they blew through their budget in a few months and never completed the movie. Gross exaggeration after exaggeration. Sad.
Very true !!! This "story" cropped up in recent years and has become an exaggerated media sensation. A sad woman who had an inarticulate grasp of the English language, came to America after a German plastic surgeon removed her hooked nose and placed bone grafts in her face.
@@1953childstar The narrative about Hedy Lamarr being a great scientist and inventor is hogwash, agreed. That said, it's clear what you mean by "hooked nose" and your thoughts on those who possess that. Many pre-Hollywood pictures of Hedy are online. I didn't see any hook. Or gosh, maybe there was some sort of conspiracy to alter the photos.
Bull sheeet it was around before her..........lol.....the patent was not it......
So we had to turn this into a feminist/meeting too ...thing ? Really? I came here for a condensed history on Hedy and wound up with a narrow Narrative.... Thanks a lot
you're just so full of anger, aren't you
Sorry about the caps... but she left out the one thing that was: the reason for all the pros....a conservative state... where everyone goes by rule of law... why are there less homeless? Because you can't loiter. And because if you steal you get the same penalty as a person who's not homeless. It's ok to be homeless, been there ,done that, its not ok to steal and live on the street in town and trash it...Why are taxes low ? Because 50% aren't moching off the ones who work.. My point is that the reason is the politics.. Even the mostly Democratic city's in Texas, they have some common sense.. and anyone planning on moving there or somewhere else from CA needs to know it or they'll just vote the same kind of people in office there that they had in Ca and it won't be fit to live there either.... She left that out ... and it was the reason it's a good place to live, raise kids. Mostly a latino based state that has good morals...
@@jerryf3375 WTF does any of that have to do with Hedy La Marr's biography??? That said, I do agree that the narrator is way off-base about Ecstasy. She was roundly condemned, sure -- but it instantly made her an international star.
@@steveweinstein3222 that's what I was saying... it when from a perminate inventor to a bunch of feminist BS...
how are you so ignorant. like literally the reason why they never took her seriously as an inventor was because she was a woman….people and women should look up to her, this is why we need feminism so ALL genders can have equal opportunity and rights. she was a brilliant Woman but because of her Beauty they couldn’t see over it. so this is another reason why we need feminism, why people like you need to be educated. and if you simply can’t see why her life story applies to feminism then you’re just sexist.
OMG! That vocal fry! It hurts my ears so bad, I can't watch this past 30 seconds. Wow! See a doctor.
Waaah! Life isn't fair! Poor Rich Famous Celebrity Actress. If she wanted to be taken seriously she should have used better judgement and Never started Smoking, Never Married a High Ranking Nazi Industrialist, Never Defected and Never became a Hollywood Actress to Exploit her Beauty for Fame and Fortune, Duh. It doesn't matter who You have decided to defect from, once You do Every Country's Intelligence Community Brands You a Traitor at Heart as You have done Yourself. It's a Catch 22 that You've done to yourself. The Nazi's were Insidious with Sleeping Spy's Everywhere. Actresses were No Exception. There was no way her technology could be completely trusted during the War. Next time You want to Cry about life isn't fair to women I suggest You complain to the Source...Creation, Nature, The Universe. Who or what Creation really is have a Reason for making things the Way They Are, because the Force of Creation is Way Smarter than You or anyone You will Ever Known. Smart People don't Waste Time Wining. They Get Things Done. They Find the Solutions and Teach Themselves and others to be Better and then make a Positive Difference. Life wasn't Meant to be Fair. It was Meant to be a Challenge so the Cream could visibly rise to the Top and Lead Mankind to Progress and be Better Over Time. The Reward is the Self Respect of Knowing Your Positive Efforts and Accomplishments in doing the Right Thing will or has Helped make Civilization Better. High Light the Positive. And don't bring up the negative unless You can offer a Rational and Viable Solution. Just Complaining about things and women trying to be Men is not the Solution. You want to change the Rules of the Game then You better have a real solution and be able to prove why your way is better.
Stop making excuses for women’s scandalous behavior. No body is blame but, themselves.
but her voice....yuck...sounded like the lady in green acres
