At first I thought this was the Wicked Witch of the West's actress and thought she must have been multitalented. Then I looked it up to verify. Nope, same name, different women.

If you want famous actresses who contributed to technology, you want Hedy Lamarr:

At the beginning of World War II, along with George Antheil, Lamarr co-invented a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of radio jamming by the Axis powers.
