Olivia DeHaviland, Vivian Leigh. I once saw a program on the History Channel that told of something that Hedy Lamar had invented for use in WW2 (gave us a serious advantage, too), but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. Something to do with encryption, IIRC. Beauty, and brains, too.

I believe she invented something to do with frequency hopping, allowing torpeodes to be RF guided (or something).  The technology is used in cell phones.
