So I knew Hedy Lamarr was a beautiful & exotic 1940s/50s era actress and that she was a Scorpio. But just HOW Scorpio she was is shown in via IMG MGMT here.
Like many a Scorp, she was a devotee to nude swimming but also the first woman to ever simulate an orgasm onscreen…Her candid autobiography created a scandal AND she designed anti-torpedo technology…
“…In her ex-husband’s Salzburg villa, the immigrant had seen plans for remote controlled torpedoes, which were never built because the radio controls proved to be too unreliable. After the outbreak of the Second World War, she worked on practical ideas to effectively fight the Hitler regime.At a party in Hollywood, Lamarr met George Antheil, an avant-garde composer who also wrote film scores. While playing the piano with the composer, the actress suddenly has an important idea for her torpedo control system. Antheil sets up the system on 88 frequencies, as this number corresponds to the number of keys on a piano. To construct it, he employs something similar to the player piano sheet music that he used in his Ballet Mécanique…
“…In December 1940, the frequency-switching device developed by Lamarr and Antheil was sent to the National Inventors’ Council. A patent was awarded on August 11, 1942. The two inventors leave it to the American military to figure out how to use the device. Lamarr’s and Antheil’s Secret Communication System disappears into the U.S. Army’s filing cabinets…
“Finally, in 1962, as the Cuba crisis brews the technology now known as frequency hopping is put to use. Its purpose is not to control torpedoes, but to allow for safe communications among blockading ships – whereupon the principles behind the patent become part of fundamental U.S. military communications technology. Today, this technology is not only the foundation for the U.S. military’s satellite defense system, but also used widely in the private sector, particularly for cordless and mobile telephones.” More here.
Her chart is here; Note the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aquarius, Moon Neptune conjunction and Saturn-Pluto conjunction.. What a singular soul & fancy being considered a sexual adventuress-rebel, one of the most beautiful woman in movies and owning the patent upon which wireless transmission is based.
