Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner came from South Carolina. This explains her accent! However, MGM found her to be incomprehensible when they took her on. Five years later, she finally got a breakthrough when she appeared in The Killers. She made a name for herself and spent fifty long years in show business. Her smoking habit eventually caught up to her. She suffered stroke and emphysema in 1986, ultimately dying of pneumonia in 1990.

Hedy Lamarr
Hedy Lamarr might just be one of the most interesting women on the list. She was not the only person to show the female orgasm on the big screen, but she also devised the technique called “frequency hopping”. They used this to fix radio signal jamming, an issue that made it difficult for subs to control torpedoes. She patented it, and it was eventually used for the invention of various useful devices!
