She, who dropped out of school at the age of 16 and appeared naked in the film at the age of 19, was praised by Hollywood as "the most beautiful woman in the world", she was the dream lover of all men, and she was also the emulator of early Hollywood actresses, even the heroine of "Gone with the Wind" Vivien Leigh was also her little fan.
After marrying into the rich, she was imprisoned by her rich husband, she was stunned by the maid, jumped out of the window and escaped; used by the company as a vase without acting skills, she filmed during the day, invented herself at night, and finally was elected to the American Inventors Hall of Fame, and was admired by posterity along with Edison, Watt and others.
She's Heidi Rama. Pay attention to Uncle Leng, today we will talk about the life of this beautiful and extremely talented woman.
Heidi Rama
In order to dream of being an actress, Heidi Lamar dropped out of school early and entered the show business circle. At the age of 19, she appeared naked in the movie "Haunted", in which Heidi swam naked, ran naked into the cabin in the forest, and did something indescribable with the male protagonist.
With a delicate face and a graceful figure, this movie allows Heidi to successfully go out of the circle. At the time, there were countless men who wanted to date her, and even former U.S. President John F. Kennedy had pursued her like crazy.
Stills from "Haunted"
Among Heidi's many suitors was a man named Fritz Mandel. He was Austria's king of arms, a known death merchant, and Austria's third-richest man.
After watching the movie "Enchanted", he fell in love with Heidi at first sight, so he began a passionate pursuit. In the face of the sweet words of this 33-year-old love field veteran driver, 20-year-old Heidi fell at once.
Only 3 months of acquaintance, the two people flashed marriage. After marriage, Heidi became a rich lady, living in the castle every day, wearing an 11-carat diamond ring, but she was not happy. Because, this man's pre-marriage and post-marriage are completely two attitudes. In a word, it is a little sweet before marriage, and mrs. cow after marriage.

It turned out that This Mandel was very keen to take Heidi to various parties and then show off to everyone, you see, this unique beauty is mine, and completely regards Heidi as his own show off.
Showing off his own wife, at first glance does not seem to have much of a problem. But not only that, in private, Mandel's desire for control is very strong, in order to prevent his wife from contacting other men, he directly locked Heidi in the castle, forbidden her to go out to shoot movies, did not even have the freedom to go out shopping, and even arranged for a maid to monitor Heidi 24 hours a day.
Not only that, but after marriage, Mandel was still angry about his own wife, who had appeared naked, so he sent people everywhere to buy nude photos of his wife and destroy them. The funny thing is that the film companies who found the business opportunity began to print and copy a lot, and the picture of Heidi appearing naked was spread more widely.
In the end, Mandel had to give up, after all, no amount of money could keep up with the speed of printing.
What Heidi could not tolerate most was that after her marriage, she slowly discovered that Mandel supported the Nazis, was good friends with Mussolini, the founder of fascism, and gave Hitler weapons.
Hitler and Messoniri
Heidi finally couldn't bear it, and taking advantage of the dark and windy night of the month, she gave the maid around her sleeping pills, then changed into the maid's clothes, jumped out of the bathroom window, and fled by train to London overnight.
After dumping her rich husband, Heidi, who regained her freedom, is bent on returning to her acting career. Soon after, she was favored by the famous MGM Film Studio and incorporated into the company.
Relying on her own beauty and the company's packaging, Heidi became the top actress in Hollywood.
She even led the fashion trend of the early days of Hollywood, and many female stars in Hollywood dyed their hair black and combed it into a middle point in order to imitate Heidi. It is said that even Vivien Leigh, the heroine of "Gone with the Wind", is a fan of her.

Gradually, in order to make money quickly, the company only gave Heidi a role similar to a silly white sweet vase, and any scene that required acting skills was pushed away for her. It is said that the heroine of the movie "Casablanca" was originally tailor-made for Heidi, but was directly rejected by the company.
Movie "Casablanca"
This made Heidi feel very unhappy, and when she was not filming, Heidi simply went home and played with the invention.
Seeing here, everyone may be a little surprised, how can a female star like Heidi be related to invention?
Didn't we say that earlier? During his marriage to Mandel, in order to show Heidi's wife everywhere, Mandel often took her to various parties, and as a result, many of the weapons experts from Germany and Austria were present at the meeting.
Heidi Rama at the party
The group of men did not shy away from Heidi when they talked about new weapons and military plans. In their eyes, Heidi couldn't understand what they were saying.
However, Heidi not only understood, but also silently recorded some of the contents with great interest.
During World War II, Allied torpedoes were so backward that they often failed to hit German submarines. At this moment, Heidi remembered what she had heard at the party about how to manipulate the torpedo.
Given the principle of operation of the torpedo, it is guided by wireless signals, and the signals at that time are transmitted on a separate channel, so that the enemy can also use the same way to interfere with the signal to achieve evasion.
On that basis, the clever Heidi expanded multiple radio frequencies, solving the technical bottleneck of a separate wireless signal channel.
Heidi Rama in the Invention
At that time, there was another person who was working with Heidi on the invention, named George Anthel. He was a pianist and often composed film music for Hollywood. As a hobby, I like to study human endocrinology and provide counseling on women's issues.
At first, Heidi just wanted to ask George how to enlarge his breasts, chatting and chatting, and the two found that this was a confidant. So they talked about weapons and war from the glands. After listening to Heidi's idea, the two hit it off and decided to invent together.
Heidi Lamar and George Antyre
It so happens that George once used a drum device to play 16 pianos at the same time during a performance. So he thought that if the same code of rollers were installed in the receiver of the torpedo and the transmitter of the ship, so that the two could operate at the same time, the frequency could be adjusted.
In this way, a Hollywood actress, a pianist, together every day to draw, do research, and finally let them invent the "FM technology".
In 1942, the invention was also patented, called the "secret communication system". The two were also particularly excited to donate the patent to the U.S. government for free, hoping to help World War II.
Drawings of Heidi Rama's invention
But when Heidi introduced the project, she found that in the eyes of the military officials, the engineering drawings were far more attractive than Heidi herself.
The officers and soldiers even said to Heidi, "Since you are so patriotic, don't waste time on these useless things, and with this time, you might as well use your beautiful face to sell war bonds to the government." ”

In this way, the invention was shelved.
It wasn't until 1997 that Heidi and George's invention was recognized by the world. But by then, George had already died, and Heidi was 82 years old. Today, this technology is considered to be the technical basis of CDMA and Bluetooth. Heidi Rama has also been called the "Mother of WiFi" and the "Mother of CDMA".
In 2014, on the centenary of Heidi's death, 14 years after her death, she was inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame and was revered by posterity along with Edison, Watt and others.
However, Heidi Rama, the goddess known as "too beautiful to be powerful", has also been praised by the media to a large extent, after all, she is not the direct inventor of these technologies, of course, we can not deny Heidi's contribution to this.
Heidi's life has been through six marriages, and none of them lasted long. In her later years, she was plagued by various scandals such as failed plastic surgery and drug addiction, and was even fined or arrested on charges of theft and false accusations of rape.
Heidi Rama in her later years
It was not until January 19, 2000, that Heidi was found dead in bed at home at the age of 86.
Looking back on heidi Rama's life, Uncle Leng feels that it is still full of legends. After all, in that era, she had been doing herself without hesitation all her life. The world's views are mixed, what do you think in front of the screen?
Well, that's the end of this issue. If you think it's a good story, remember to like it, and the next issue will continue to take you to observe this strange world.
