【The story behind the beauty: The legendary life of Heidi Lamarr】
In this flashy world, beauty is often a person's most compelling asset, however, beauty is sometimes a heavy burden. Heidi Lamarr's life is such a story full of glory and ups and downs.
Hedy Lamarr, an Austrian girl born in 1914, her father was a banker and her mother was a piano teacher. However, even in this happy context, she did not receive enough parental affection just because she was a girl.
It was because of her amazing beauty that Heidi realized that she could become an actress. So, at the age of 16, she filmed her first film, Money on the Street, which was a huge success.
In 1933, a director offered to create a film for her on the condition that she appear completely naked. Heidi bravely agreed, becoming the world's first actress to appear fully naked and filming "Ecstasy".
However, her beauty also attracted the pursuit of countless men, including an Austrian arms dealer, who controlled everything about her after marriage, making her lose her freedom.
However, the ups and downs of love did not stop. She has married many men, but none of them have been happy for long, and one of her husbands has even cheated on her many times, breaking her heart.
After a period of mental frustration, Heidi decided to return to science, and she teamed up with aeronautical engineer Howard Hughes, who inspired him to build the world's fastest airplane.
She also accidentally invented a way to put tablets in water to create bubbles, which became the prototype of the original effervescent tablets. At the same time, she collaborated with the composer George Antell to design a device against German torpedoes, a technology that later inspired the development of WiFi technology, and she is known as the "mother of WiFi".
Her career obstacles did not stop her, and she tried to become a director, but encountered a series of setbacks and even was on the verge of bankruptcy. Her love life was also not smooth, and her many marriages ended in failure.
In the end, she became obsessed with plastic surgery and tried to maintain her youth forever, but became hideous. She also tried to trace her scientific work, but found that it had been used for military purposes, and her request was denied.
The elderly Heidi eventually fell into poverty and had to receive benefits. She died at home in 2000, but, ironically, after her death, her scientific work was widely publicized.
