Today we celebrate Hedy Lamarr 101st birthday, and for the special occasion Google has dedicated today’s Doodle to her. But why? Who was she really? Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian American actress who was born in 1914. She was one of the most popular actresses between the late 1930s and 1950s. So?

She created some of the technology behind what we now know as Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. Now that is amazing! And very unusual of women of the time. Especially, famous beautiful actresses who could have taken a step back...
