Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner had a southern accent so thick that MGM found her to be incomprehensible! Nonetheless, she worked hard, and they signed her. She worked for five years before she made her breakthrough with The Killers, which marked the start of her popularity. She enjoyed fifty years in the biz, although she suffered a number of health issues over the years. In 1990, the actress died of pneumonia.
Hedy Lamarr
We bet you will agree with us when we say that Hedy Lamarr is a fascinating woman! She was the first woman who depicted the female orgasm for the camera, but that is not all. During the Second World War, she also worked on a technique known as “frequency hopping”, which is useful when it comes to radio signal jamming and controlling torpedos. She patented it, and it is now used by the military.
