Not sure of the algorithm that Google uses to decide about their personalities to doodle.
Because, as you say, you had never heard of her; me too. But, someone at Google had, and they had the time and resources to create a doodle.

A beautiful and impressive woman obviously prepared to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Escaped from an abusive husband... I can sympathize with that but then she goes on to be married another five times. Six husbands seems excessive; she obviously had a personality flaw or some kind of PTSD from her first husband and/or made a lot of poor choices - she even became estranged from her own adopted son when he was only 12!
I don't know how she was really; everything is hearsay evidence; but she strikes me as "high maintenance". A pity about the plastic surgery later in her life. She should have stuck with her (actually very useful) scientific inventions; she appeared to have a real talent for that.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

As coincidence has it my dad was talking about her just last weekend.
He said he'd seen a movie about her (not with, but about).
We still haven't found what movie he was talking about though...

It's HEDLEY Lamarr![^]
(Sorry, just kidding with you. In Blazing Saddles, they make fun of the name Hedy Lamarr)
Anyway, I guess she wasn't very famous in your neck of the woods. I'm just curious as to why you're impressed? Because she was married SIX times?

I'm impressed because of the mixture of her nature - she was almost everywhere...

What's being married six times got to do with it? She was a mathematical genius. The significant thing about her invention was that it was given to the nation without payment. Imagine the royalties her heirs would be earning if she hadn't done that. Modern communications couldn't function successfully without the invention.

By now, the invention (invented during WWII, don't forget!) would have been out of patent protection.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

My answer was reach out and touch the plama globe and watch the lighting change. None of the other ideas in that thread seem as fun. 
I did turn on the lightup base for my Lichtenberg figure cylinder (mine is similar to the one in the upper left)[^] again; but that's a purely passive toy.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
