Hedy Lamarr (/‘hedi/; born Hedwig Eva Maria
Kiesler, 9 November 1914 19 January 2000)!*) was
an Austrian and American film actress and inventor]
Afier an early and brief film career in Germany,
which included a controversial love-making scene in
the film Zestasy (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, HM. Pulham, Esq. (1941) with
Robert Young, and Samson and Delilah (1949) with
Victor Mature.!1 Director Max Reinhardt called her
the "most beautiful woman in Europe," a sentiment
widely shared by her audiences and critics. 41(51[4

Early life and European film career
Lamarr was bon Jewish as Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in 1914 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, the only
child of Gertrud "Trude" Kiesler (née Lichtwitz; 3 February 1894 - 27 February 1977) and Emil Kiesler
(27 December 1880 — 14 February 1935). Her father was born in Lemberg (nowadays Lviv in Ukraine)
and was a successful bank director!'2] He died before the Holocaust, and later Hedy, through her
influence as an actress, was able to rescue her mother from this plight.!3]
Her mother was a pianist and Budapest native who came from the Jewish haute bourgeoisie". Stephen
Michael Shearer, a Lamarr biographer, asserts that Lamarr's mother had converted from Judaism to
Catholicism and was a "practicing Christian”
In the late 1920s, Lamarr was discovered as an actress and brought to Berlin by producer Max
Reinhardt. Following her training in the theater, she returned to Vienna, where she began to work in the
film industry, first as a script girl, and soon as an actress.
In early 1933, at age 18, she starred in Gustav Machaty's film, Ecstasy (Ekstase in German, Extase in
Czech), which was filmed in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Lamarr’s role was that of a neglected young wife
married to an indifferent older man. The film became notorious for showing Lamarr's face in the throes
of orgasm as well as close-up and brief nude scenes in which she is seen swimming and running through
the woods.PIL4]

First marriage
At the age of 19, on 10 August 1933, Lamarr married Friedrich Mandl, a wealthy Austrian military arms
merchant. He objected to what he felt was exploitation of his wife and "the expression on her face"
during the simulated orgasm in Ecstasy. He purportedly bought up as many copies of the film as he
could find in an attempt to restrict its public viewing. In her autobiography, she insists that all sexual
activity in the film was simulated, and that the orgasm was simulated using "method acting reality" (the
film director off-screen pricking her with a safety-pin).
Reputed to be the third richest man in Austria, Mand] was a munitions manufacturer. In her
autobiography Zestasy and Me, Lamarr described Mandl as extremely controlling, preventing her from
pursuing her acting career and keeping her a virtual prisoner, confined to their castle home, Schloss
Schwarzenau. Although half-Jewish himself, Mandl had close social and business ties to the fascist
government of Italy and nazi government of Germany, selling munitions to Mussolini.) Lamarr wrote
that Mussolini and Hitler had attended lavish parties hosted at the Mandl home. Mandl had her
accompany him to business meetings, where he conferred with scientists and other professionals
involved in military technology. These conferences were her introduction to the field of applied science
and the ground that nurtured her latent talent in science.l!5]
Lamatt’s marriage to Mandl eventually became unbearable, and she decided to separate herself from
both him and her country. She wrote in her autobiography that she disguised herself as her maid and fled
to Paris. However, rumors claimed that Lamarr persuaded Mandi to let her wear all of her jewelry for a
dinner, then disappeared.!!6)
Move to the United States
Hollywood film career
Afier escaping her husband, she fled to Paris in 1937, where she met Louis B. Mayer, who was scouting
for talent in Europe.("7I Mayer hired her but insisted that she change her name to Hedy Lamarr—she had
been known as "the Ecstasy lady"!6l—choosing the surname in homage to the beautiful silent film star,
Barbara La Marr, who had died in 1926 from tuberculosis. Upon arriving in Hollywood in 1938, Mayer
promoted her as the "world's most beautiful woman,"!!8)
She received good reviews for her American film debut in Algiers (1938) with Charles Boyer, who
asked that Lamarr be cast after meeting her at a party.!"61 In Hollywood, she was invariably cast as the
archetypal glamorous seductress of exotic origins. Lamarr played opposite the era's most popular leading
men. Her many films include Boom Town (1940) with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, Comrade X with
Gable, White Cargo (1942), Tortilla Flat (1942) with Tracy and John Garfield, H. M. Pulham, Esq.
(1941) with Robert Young, and Dishonored Lady (1947), In 1941, Lamarr was cast alongside Lana
Turmer and Judy Garland in Ziegfeld Girl.
Lamarr made 18 films from 1940 to 1949 even though she had two children during that time (in 1945
and 1947). After leaving MGM in 1945, she enjoyed her biggest success as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's
Samson and Delilah, the highest-grossing film of 1949, with Victor Mature as the Biblical strongman.
However, following her comedic turn opposite Bob Hope in My Favorite Spy (1951), her career went
into decline. She appeared only sporadically in films after 1950, one of her last roles being that of Joan
of Are in Irwin Allen's critically panned epic, The Story of Mankind (1957). White Cargo, one of
Laman’'s biggest hits at MGM, contains, arguably, her most memorable film quote delivered with hints
ipsifenwikipeia orgiwindex php ille-Hedy_LamarrSprntable=yes aaenva01s Hedy Lamar - Wikipedia tee eneyclopedia
of a provocative invitation: "I am Tondelayo. I make tiffin for you?" This line typifies many of Laman's
roles, which emphasized her beauty and sexuality but were light on lines. The lack of acting challenges
bored Lamarr, and she turned to inventing to relieve her boredom. [91
Early inventions
At the beginning of the war, she was told that she could better help the war effort by using her celebrity
status to sell war bonds, which she did with great success. But she wanted to do more, particularly by
using her interest in science to aid in the defeat of Nazism.
Lamanr’s earliest inventions include an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in
water to create a carbonated drink. The beverage was unsuccessful; Lamarr herself said it tasted like
Alka-Seltzer.(19)
Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum invention
Main article: Frequency-hopping spread spectrum
Laman's reputation as an inventor is based on her co-creation of
a frequency-hopping system with George Antheil, an avant garde
composer and neighbor of Lamar in California, During World
War II, Lamarr was inspired to contribute to the war effort, and
focused her efforts on countering torpedoes. In her home,
explains author Richard Rhodes during an interview on CBS, she
devoted a room to drafting her designs for frequency-hopping."]
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE
Lamarr and Antheil discussed the fact that radio-controlled ;
torpedoes, while important in the naval war, could easily be
jammed by broadcasting interference at the frequency of the
control signal, causing the torpedo to go off course.2) Lamarr
had learned something about torpedoes during her marriage to
Mandl. Lamarr and Antheil developed the idea of using
frequency hopping to avoid jamming. This was achieved by
using a piano roll to unpredictably change the signal sent
between a control center and the torpedo at short bursts within a range of 8 frequencies in the radio-
frequency spectrum (there are 88 black and white keys on a piano keyboard).
Copy of U.S. patent for "Secret
‘Communication System
The specific code for the sequence of frequencies would be held identically by the controlling ship and
in the torpedo. It would be practically impossible for the enemy to jam all 88 frequencies, as it would
require too much power. The frequency-hopping sequence was controlled by a player-piano mechanism,
which Antheil had earlier used to score his Ballet Mécanique.!??]
On LL August 1942, U.S. Patent 2,292,387 (https://www.google.com/patents/US2292387) was granted
to Hedy Kiesler Markey, Laman’s married name at the time, and George Antheil. Although novel, this
early version of frequency hopping soon met with opposition from the U.S. Navy and was not
adopted.) The idea was not implemented in the U.S. until 1962, when it was used by U.S. military
ships during a blockade of Cuba after the patent had expired. Lamarr’s work was honored in 1997, when
the Electronic Frontier Foundation gave her a belated award for her contributions.!7] In 1998, an Ottawa
wireless technology developer, Wi-LAN Inc., acquired a 49% claim to the patent from Lamarr for an
undisclosed amount of stock. 41
ipsifenwikipeia orgiwindex php ille-Hedy_LamarrSprntable=yes anaenva01s Hedy Lamare- Wikipedia, to ree encylonodia
Laman’s and Antheil's frequency-hopping idea served as a basis for modern spread-spectrum
communication technology, such as GPS, Bluetooth, COFDM (used in Wi-Fi network connections), and
CDMA (used in some cordless and wireless cell phones).!25! Blackwell, Martin, and Vernam's 1920
patent!26) seems to lay the communications groundwork for Lamarr and Antheil's patent, which
employed the techniques in the autonomous control of torpedoes. The US military now uses spread-
spectrum and frequency-hopping techniques for voice and data communications as the Joint Tactical
Information Distribution System (JTIDS) 71, A version of Lamarr and Antheil's concept is also used to
prevent or dramatically weaken jamming of military radar by foreing a would-be jammer to pour power
across a large radio spectrum as the radar transmitter hops frequencies in a pseudo-random pattern while
only using a narrow frequency band at any given time. [78]
Fundraising for the war effort
Lamarr wanted to join the National Inventors Council, but was reportedly told by NIC member Charles
F. Kettering and others that she could better help the war effort by using her celebrity status to sell War
Bonds.29159] Lamar participated in a war bond selling campaign with a sailor named Eddie Rhodes.
Rhodes would be in the crowd at each Lamarr appearance, and she would call him up on stage. She
would briefly flirt with him before asking the audience if she should give him a kiss. The crowd would
of course say yes, to which Hedy would reply that she would if enough people bought war bonds. After
enough bonds were purchased, she would give Rhodes his kiss, and he would head back into the
audience. Then they would head off to the next war bond rally.311
In the 1990s, Lamarr and Antheil got the recognition they deserved for their invention. They received
such awards as the Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award and the BULBIE* Gnass Spirit of
Achievement Bronze Award, given to individuals whose creative lifetime achievements in the arts,
sciences, business, or invention fields have significantly contributed to society.22)
In addition, her technological contributions have been featured on the Science Channel and the
Discovery Channel.!3)
Lamarr and Antheil were inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.04]
Later years
Lamarr became a naturalized citizen of the United States on 10
April 1953, at age 38. In 1966, she was arrested for shoplifting in
Los Angeles. The charges were eventually dropped. In 1991, s
was arrested on the same charge in Florida, this time for
US$21.48 worth of laxatives and eye drops. She pleaded "no
contest" to avoid a court appearance, and in return for a promise
to refrain from breaking any laws for a year, the charges were
once again dropped, 5°)
According to her autobiography Ecstasy and Me (1966), while
attempting to flee her husband, Fritz Mandl, she reputedly
slipped into a brothel and hid in an empty room. While her
husband searched the brothel, a man entered the room and she

Without Passport (1950)

had sex with him so she could remain unrecognized. She was finally successful in escaping when she
hired a new maid who resembled her; she drugged the maid and used her uniform as a disguise to
escape.(36
Lamarr later sued the publisher, saying that many of the anecdotes in the book, which was described by
a judge as "filthy, nauseating, and revolting," were fabricated by its ghost writer, Leo Guild.271lI she
was also sued in Federal Court by Gene Ringgold, who asserted the actress's autobiography contained
39]
material from an article about her life which he wrote in 1965 for a magazine called Screen Facts.'
The publication of her autobiography took place about a year after the accusations of shoplifting and a
year after Andy Warhol's short film Hedy (1966). The shoplifting charges coincided with a failed
attempt to retum to the screen in Picture Mommy Dead (1966). The role was ultimately filled by Zsa Zsa
Gabor. Ecstasy and Me begins in a despondent mood, with this reference:
On a recent evening, sitting home alone suffering and brooding about my treatment at the
police station because of an incident in a department store, and being replaced by Zsa Zsa
Gabor in a motion picture (imagine how that pleased the ego!) I figured out that I had
made — and spent— some thirty million dollars. Yet earlier that day I had been unable to pay
for a sandwich at Schwab's drug store.
The 1970s was a decade of increasing seclusion for Lamarr. She was offered several scripts, television
commercials, and stage projects, but none piqued her interest. In 1974, she filed an invasion of privacy
lawsuit for US$10 million for an unauthorized use of her name (i.e. "Hedley Lamarr" in Mel Brooks’
comedy film Blazing Saddles); the case was settled out of court.“ With failing eyesight, she retreated
from public life and settled in Miami Beach, Florida, in 1981.21
For several years beginning in 1997, the boxes of CorelDRAW’s software suites were graced by a large
Corel-drawn image of Lamarr. The picture won CoreIDRAW’s yearly software suite cover design
contest in 1996, Lamarr sued Corel for using the image without her permission. Corel countered that she
did not own rights to the image. The parties reached an undisclosed settlement in 1998 {41[42]
For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Hedy Lamarr has a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame at 6247 Hollywood Blvd.31#4)
In her later years, Lamarr tuned to plastic surgery to preserve the looks she was terrified of losing.
Lamatr had to endure disastrous results. "She had her breasts enlarged, her cheeks raised, her lips made
bigger, and much, much more" said Anthony. "She had plastic surgery thinking it could revive her looks
and her career, but it backfired and distorted her beauty". Anthony Loder also claimed that Lamarr was
addicted to pills.!45]
Lamar became estranged from her adopted son, James Lamarr Loder, when he was 12 years old. Their
relationship ended abruptly and he moved in with another family. They did not speak again for almost
50 years, Lamarr left James Loder out of her will and he sued for control of the USS3.3 million estate
left by Lamarr in 2000.44

In the last decades of her life the telephone became her only means of communication with the outside
world, even with her children and close friends. She often talked up to six or seven hours a day on the
phone, but she hardly spent any time with anyone in person in her final years. A documentary, Calling
Hedy Lamarr, was released in 2004. Lamanr’s children, Anthony Loder and Denise Loder-DeLuca, were
featured in the documentary.{47]
An Off-Broadway play, Frequency Hopping, features the lives of Lamarr and Antheil. The play was
written and staged by Elyse Singer in 2008, and the script won a prize for best new play about science
and technology from STAGE.l!2J[48)
The 2010 New York Public Library exhibit, Thirty Years of Photography at the New York Public
Library included a photo of a topless Lamarr (ca. 1930) by Austrian-born American photographer Trude
Fleischmann,
‘The story of Laman frequency-hopping spread-spectrum invention was explored in an episode of the
Science Channel show Dark Matters: Twisted But True, a series which explores the darker side of
scientific discovery and experimentation, which premiered on 7 September 2011.49) Her story was also
featured in the premiere episode of the Discovery Channel show How We Invented the World.
According to actress Anne Hathaway, her portrayal of Catwoman in the 2012 film The Dark Knight
Rises was based on Lamarr,°9
On 20 May 2010, Hedy Lamarr was chosen from 150 IT people to be featured in a short film launched
by the British Computer Society (BCS).611
On 9 November 2015, the 101st anniversary of her birth, Google paid tribute to Hedy Lamamr's work in
(32)
film and her contributions to scientific advancement with an animated Google Doodle.
Death
Lamarr died in Casselberry, Florida, on 19 January 2000, aged
85. Her death certificate cited three causes: heart failure, chronic
valvular heart disease, and arteriosclerotic heart disease.!12) Her
death coincided with her daughter Denise's 55th birthday. Her
son Anthony Loder took her ashes to Austria and spread them in
the Vienna Woods, in accordance with her last wishes.]
Lamar was given an honorary grave in Vienna's Central
Cemetery in 2014.4]
Marriages and relationships
Lamar was married six times. She adopted a son, James, in 1939
during her second marriage to Gene Markey. She went on to
have two biological children, Denise (b. 1945) and Anthony (b.
1947), with her third husband, actor John Loder, who also Grave of Hedy Lamarr at Vienna's
