About the Quote

Creative people can do create things everyone would expect to be created. However, creative people are at their best when they create the unexpected. The build on existing work at take it further, often going in a directionno one else had considered. Sometimes this means going sideways instead of in a logical progression forward. Sometimes it could even mean going backward if it's done to backtrack from something which wasn't working so well.

Creative people are willing to take risks if the end result is being credited with being the first to do something. They are also willing to take risks if it means being recognized as the best to do something others had tried before.

It's been said that creative people march to the beat of a different drummer, and that they see the world in ways different from the rest of us. These two reasons help to explain why creative people like to do the unexpected during the course of their creative efforts.

Some Information about Hedy Lamarr

Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler was born in Vienna, Austria on 1914-November-9. She died in Casselberry, Florida, US on 2000-January-19.

Better known as Hedy Lamarr, she was known primarily as an actress during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Among her better known movies are Boom Town (1940), Lady of the Tropics (1939), Samson and Delilah (1949), and Tortilla Flat (1942). In recent years, it had been revealed to the public that she was also a scientist who is jointly credited with an early technique for spread spectrum communications. This technique was important enough to form, in part, the basis for wireless communication to this day.

When she was a teenager, she had been discovered by an Austrian film director. She garnered attention in 1933 for her role in Czech film titled Ecstasy, a racy film for the time. Kiesler was married to a wealthy Austrian manufacturer of munitions named Fritz Mandl who ended up selling arms to Nazi Germany.

When her marriage to Mandl ended, Kiesler fled to the United States. Once in Hollywood, Kiesler signed a contract with major motion picture studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She signed this contract using the name Hedy Lamarr, which she used the rest of her life. Her first American film was Algiers, where she co-starred with leading man Charles Boyer. Algiers was a winner at the box office, and Hedy Lamarr had become an immediate box office draw.
