In this world, it is difficult to insist on being your true self, but only when we keep being true to ourselves can we know what we want and make ourselves better.
She became a rich wife at the age of 19, lived in the castle, wore an 11-carat diamond ring, and even the dinner plate was gold, but in the face of such a luxurious life, she decided to run away from marriage and began to pursue her life, she is Heidi. Lamar
European beauty Heidi. Lamar
Heidi was born in Austria in 1914 to a Jewish family. Her father was a bank executive, her mother was a pianist, and Heidi received a good education.
Although his father worked in a bank, he had a soft spot for technology, and he would often tell little Heidi about the principles of technology.
Under the influence of her father, Heidi went to study communications. But at the age of 16, she became fascinated with movies, and as a teenager, she resolutely gave up her studies and went to Berlin, Germany to study acting.
Because of her beauty, she just went to the film studio and was selected as an extra. But most of the characters are "vases", and although they are beautiful, they are not recognizable.
It wasn't until the 1933 film "Ecstasy" that brought her into everyone's consciousness.
Appeared naked and became a hit
One day, the director threw a script "Soulless" and asked her to star. Heidi was ecstatic, and the director said that he hoped that Heidi would leave the country completely naked, and promised that when she left the country naked, the camera would be 100 meters away, and only a blurry back could be photographed, which would not affect anything.
The director also followed his promise, but what Heidi didn't know was that the camera had the ability to zoom in on focus. So Heidi performed naked, and later appeared on the screen naked. As soon as the film was released, the whole of Europe was boiling over it.
When the movie was released, there was an audience member below named Mandel, an Austrian arms tycoon known as a death merchant. The moment he saw Heidi, he was immediately attracted and decided to get Heidi at all costs.
Mandel was rich and knew that Heidi liked to dance, so he held dances frequently, successfully capturing Heidi's heart.
Her career is booming, but she chose to get married
Heidi married Mandel in 1933 when she was only 19 years old.
After marriage, Mandel changed his appearance when he was in love, he began to become sensitive and suspicious, and Heidi was placed under house arrest. Heidi was forbidden to have contact with any man and she was forbidden to attend any party unless he was present. He felt that such a beautiful wife would cheat sooner or later, and arranged for a maid to monitor Heidi's every move.
Paradoxically, what attracted Mandel in the first place has now become a thorn in his heart.
He even recycles nude photos of his wife at high prices around the world and tries to destroy them. The filmmakers saw a business opportunity, and they started copying even more frantically, and it didn't happen.
At first Heidi was acceptable, but she and Mandel and Mandel were Jewish. And Mandel sold all his weapons to Hitler in order to make a fortune and became a supporter of fascism, which was contrary to Heidi's beliefs, which made Heidi determined to escape.
Design to escape
One day in 1937, Heidi secretly packed her luggage and hid it under her bed. She put the drug in a teapot, brewed a pot of tea, poured two cups and invited the maid to taste it together. The maid was undefended, drank it all, and after a moment, the maid fainted to the ground. She changed into maid's clothes, picked up her luggage, jumped through the bathroom window, and fled all the way, taking the train overnight to London.
Heidi dumped her rich husband, and she decided to continue her dream of becoming a great actress.
The road to acting was not smooth, and he started to invent again
In October 1937, Heidi set foot in Hollywood with her ambitions, and signed her to the famous MGM Film Studio. Soon Heidi took Hollywood by storm, and almost all magazine covers featured Heidi.
MGM
But MGM only asked her to take on one role, that is, a vase, and she was not given a little acting to the scene. Heidi was furious, saying that "any girl can be very charming, she just has to stand there and look stupid." ”
She doesn't want to be a stupid woman, she wants to prove to the world that she is not only beautiful but also intelligent. To prove her wisdom, Heidi began making movies during the day and inventing at night.
Helped a friend improve the wing of an airplane
Heidi believes that cinema is often limited to regions and eras, and that technology is timeless. Later she met a great aircraft designer, Howard. Hughes, who is also the prototype of Iron Man.
Howard wanted to create the fastest airplane in the world, and Heidi was captivated by his ideas and his factory.
She often visited Howard's factory and met many scientists. During this period, she discovered that the wing of the aircraft was square and very slow, so she had the idea of combining fish and birds, and after many modifications and experiments, she designed the wing of a modern aircraft.
This design, after Howard really applied, the speed of the aircraft really increased a lot, and this success made Heidi more confident.
A piece of news, faded out of the entertainment industry, concentrated on invention
In 1940, Heidi heard the news that a ship full of children had been torpedoed by German troops, killing everyone, including 83 children. At that moment, Heidi knew what she was going to do.
At that time, German submarines dominated the Atlantic Ocean, and American torpedoes posed no threat to their submarines.
Churchill once wrote in his memoirs that "the most frightening thing about the war was the threat of German submarines."
Because torpedoes were controlled by communication, the Germans could detect communications and thus avoid attack.
Heidi wanted to invent a torpedo for confidential communication, the principle of which is simply to constantly change the frequency of communication so that the Germans cannot detect it, so as to achieve precise strikes, she called this idea "frequency jump".
But Heidi only understands theory and does not know how to make this equipment.
Once Heidi asked George how to enlarge breasts, and then the two unknowingly talked about the war, Heidi told George her thoughts, and George listened, I will.
It turned out that he did a performance in which he used a roller device to make 16 pianos play at the same time, and if similar rollers were installed in the launch boat and torpedoes, the same code could be set to achieve FM, and the pianist George creatively linked torpedoes and pianos.
So they drew version after edition of the design, and two years later, came up with inventions that would affect the world. On August 11, 1942, this invention was patented, called the secret communication system, and the patent lot number 2292387.
Heidi and George immediately gifted the patent to the United States, hoping to help the Allies in World War II.
But the military heard that the developer was Heidi, the "vase" was directly thrown away and not used, and the military media also reported the invention, but the picture was a photo of Heidi wearing a bikini.
They also disdainfully told Heidi, "Leave this to the professionals, you might as well use your beauty to help the government sell war bonds."
In order to bring down Germany and end the war as soon as possible, Heidi decided to do it, signing autographs to American soldiers every day, condolences to them, and selling twenty-five million dollars in war bonds.
But in 1942, the U.S. government announced that it had confiscated Heidi's patent and made it the property of enemy foreigners because Heidi was Austrian and foreigner.
Heidi didn't understand, they used her to sell bonds, she was not a foreigner, she made inventions for the country, she became a foreigner again. This feeling of being denied and abandoned by the state confused Heidi.
What's more, later deeds show that the US military has long used FM technology for the military, but they just don't recognize Heidi's patent.
The second half of his life was bleak
As she grew older, her youthful face gradually faded, and MGM wanted her to become a star again in order to squeeze her value out.
Heidi is not willing to go on like this, she wants to be free, she wants to be herself. She and MGM sued to terminate their contract and decided to make her own film. She was a great success in the first few movies, but the last one cost her money.
Her marriage also hurt her vitality. At that time, Heidi's son was dying in a car accident, but her husband urged Heidi to go to court for divorce, Heidi could not go to court in order to accompany her son, and as a result, she was judged to lose the case, all the property belonged to her husband, and Heidi had nothing in an instant.
It wasn't until 1997, when Heidi was 83 years old, that the U.S. military admitted that they had stolen Heidi's patent. She was presented with the Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award, which recognized FM technology as revolutionary.
The invention was later valued at $30 billion, but Heidi didn't receive a penny. She even receives $300 a month from the government to survive.
On 19 January 2000, Heidi. Rama died quietly in his sleep at the age of 86.
Born in the upper class, she dropped out of school, married a rich man but ran away, became a famous Hollywood actress and went to invent. Heidi gave the answer, and throughout her magnificent life, she always remembered her father's words to her as a child: "Be yourself, choose and stick to what you want." "You can regret what you do, but you never regret being yourself
