Google Doodle story of Hedy Lamarr on her would be 101st birthday today the 9th November 2015.
Once described as "the most beautiful woman in the world", a glamorous Hollywood actress of 1940s; however she was not just a pretty face,

"She was very complicated and very accomplished at the same time," said Jennifer Hom of Google, who researched Lamarr's life to create the animated clip.
"She was really curious and had an active intellect and she was always trying to learn," said Hom, who spent two months full-time working on the doodle. "I like to think of her as superhero figure where you have a daytime personality and a nighttime personality."
One quote from the actress sounds like it could have been spoken yesterday.
"The world is not getting any easier. With all these new inventions I believe that people are hurried more and pushed more," she said. "The hurried way is not the right way, you need time for everything--time to work, time to play, time to rest."
The wireless communications she devised during the Second World War are still used today in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
