Ni Te mastermind if there ever was one. I watched a documentary on her...not only invented the predecessor to Bluetooth technology but was constantly thinking of ways to do things better and more efficiently. ie. When she was getting cosmetic surgery in later life she actually would make suggestions to the surgeon on how to do it less invasively. Unfortunately she never got proper recognition for her intelligence until she was elderly and never got full patent credit for her inventions. The world wanted to only see her as a sex symbol which was a source of constant annoyance to her. If anyone is interested in Hedy, I’d suggest also looking into Frances Farmer....another genius INTJ actress from the golden age of Hollywood who has a fairly tragic backstory
Biography
Hedy Lamarr, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler (November 9, 1914– January 19, 2000) was an Austrian-born American film actress and inventor. After a brief early film career in Czechoslovakia, including the controversial Ecstasy (1933), she fled from her husband, a wealthy Austrian ammunition manufacturer, and secretly moved to Paris. Traveling to London, she met Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studio head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood. At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes, intended to use frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers. Although the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, various spread-spectrum techniques are incorporated into Bluetooth technology and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of Wi-Fi. This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.
