Marilyn Monroe
We couldn’t possibly make a list like this without adding Marilyn Monroe. She was easily one of the world’s most well-known celebrities. “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring,” the actress said. What wise words!
Hedy Lamarr
Hedy Lamarr is, without a doubt, the most fascinating lady we have ever heard of. Did you know she was the first woman to perform a female orgasm on screen? This was not, however, her sole accomplishment in life. She worked on the creation of “frequency hopping” after WWII broke out, so enemy vessels wouldn’t jam submarines’ radio transmissions used to control torpedoes. Despite the fact that the patent was not used for many years, it finally became the foundation for a number of military and civilian uses. What a lady!
