Hedy Lamarr ( November 9, 1914 – January 19, 2000) is not often remembered for her roles in film noir, but she appeared in a few, and her exotic and mysterious quality worked very well in the genre. While she was often thought of as the most beautiful woman on film, she was highly intelligent, and we all owe thanks to her for a certain modern convenience that would go on to develop into what we use in our everyday lives today. She co-created an anti-jamming device, used in both cellular phones and Wifi. So this video comes to you in large part because of something she helped to create. The music is "I'm Weak" composed by John Barry.
Clips from:
Crossroads (1941)
The Strange Woman (1946)
Dishonored Lady (1947)

On the birthday of the late Leonard Nimoy (March 26, 1931 - February 27, 2015) heres another tribute to the iconic character he helped to create. While Spock often battled his emotions (made more difficult by the fact that he was half-human) there were people around him who saw the qualities of compassion, and humanity through his logic and intelligence, and he often demonstrated empathy for others. Leonard Nimoy put it like this - Spock is fun to portray, because, underneath, he really does have emotions. If Spock didnt have any emotions, he wouldnt be interesting. Actually, Spock has a considerable amount of compassion, though he wont allow himself to believe that. There is also what the character of Spock represents, what Nimoy referred to as a very human condition, how and when you should express your emotions, being in touch with them, etc. As Stephen E. Whitfield stated in the book, The Making Of Star Trek, Spock enables the series to make interesting social commentaries on the human race. Spocks alien perspective permits unusually barbed and interesting statements of the fallibility of both human customs and institutions. He allows us to see ourselves as others see us. Music by Alanis Morisette. Enjoy!")
