Hedy Lamarr
Nude

The skin archives cast way back to bring skinthusiasts the forward-thinking breasts and avant-garde backside of Austrian bad-girl archetype Hedy Lamarr. How many other flesh icons of the twenty-first century were born in 1913? And how many other skintastic legends escaped Nazi Germany through a series of disguises, boarded a ship with Louis B. Meyer and convinced him to give her a contract when they got to America where she helped invent technology that became the basis for WiFi? Yeah, only Hedy! Hedy was a mere—though stunning—nineteen when all of her was revealed in the Czech film Ecstasy (1932). An unusually aptly titled movie, the black-and-white import’s lasting import results from ten minutes of Hedy naked as a stripper, frolicking in field and pond. At one point a horse reared its head behind Lamarr’s creamy shoulder as her obviously real tits (it’s 1932, for God’s sake) perked up in the foreground sunshine. After that film, she made her way to America where her nudity was already legendary. She convinced producers to give her parts despite her nude scenes, telling them that she was so young when she did the role that she didn’t know better – event though she actually loved her early work! During WWII, Hedy wanted to help the war effort. She was inspired by player pianos to invent frequency hopping communicating technology to use for spying. Little did she know that the allies wouldn’t end up using her invented. However, her invention was quickly used as the basis for WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS technology. Beauty, brains, and boobs. She’s one of the most important figures of the 20th century!
