Drone aircraft are all the rage these days.

While perusing a local museum's aerospace exhibit I stumbled across a tidbit of info. Maybe this is common knowledge, but it was news to me.

So, quiz time.

Who is the most famous person to build military UAV's?

(<span style="font-style: italic">hint</span>: they're famous, but not for specifically for building UAV's.)
 
Werner von Braun
 
Ah, come on, no more guesses?

Sorry, I haven't got another hint. I couldn't think of one that wouldn't give it straight away.

OK, here's a clue:

The subject in question can be seen wearing a dress, ... in the movie <span style="font-style: italic">Some Like It Hot</span>.
 
hmmm - original question said "<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">they're</span></span> famous" ... but here's the only "star" I could find:

Found it using Wikipedia (which is still working fine if you just disable javascript in your browser).

"they" is just a gender neutral 3rd person pronoun for "the subject in question" or "the most famous <span style="font-weight: bold">person</span>"



Anyway, Ding, ding, ding. We have a (photo) winner.


Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Dougherty, at the time) did work for Reginald Denny's Radioplane Compnay, building remotely piloted drones.

Nope - Try Reginald Denny (Not the Truck Driver beaten in the LA riots, the other Reginald Denny)
 
Yes, Reginald was very famous. And he did much more drone building than Marilyn.


But the question was: Who is the <span style="font-weight: bold">most famous</span> person to build military UAV's?

Try walking up to a hundred random people on the street and asking who Reginald Denny and Marilyn Monroe were. I guarantee you'll find one in particular was the most famous.
