Ekstaza i ja

Hedy Lamarr

This is Hedy Lamarr's autobiography.

Hedy Lamarr is known for two things: First: her film career, as she was considered the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. She was also the first woman to appear nude in a film. Second: She is known as an inventor, scientist, and researcher, especially during World War II, for developing and patenting a method of defense against torpedoes and missiles. She also developed an anti-aircraft system where anti-aircraft fire would not hit the aircraft but would explode nearby.

Today, following the downing of Malaysian Airline Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine, which killed 298 passengers, a new perspective has emerged on the process developed by Hedy Lamarr. The missile that shot down the Malaysian airliner used a system similar to the one developed by Hedy Lamarr, and the torpedo defense she developed could have applications in preventing future downings of commercial aircraft.
