<p>Brooke Shields, Jodie Foster, Natalie Portman, Fred Savage, the Olson Sisters, Julia Stiles etc... all got into college AFTER they became celebrities. I am sure they are very smart, but their fame probably had a lot to do with their individual acceptances. Some of the smartest stars include:</p>
<p>Tommy Lee Jones
Dolph Lundgren (before becoming a movie star, Dolph "the meathead" Lundgren won a Fulbright scholarship to MIT)
Madonna
Sharon Stone
James Woods</p>

"Bill Clinton: 1032
42nd President of the United States"</p>
<p>Really? No way. Bill Cosby had to have gotten higher than a 400.

</p>
<p>LOL, Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar; he truly excelled academic wise. But of course, he failed miserably when it came to women :(</p>
<p>Julia Stiles went to Columbia...</p>
<p>Anna Paquin went to Columbia.
Katie Holmes got into Columbia out of high school...she had only done one film at that point - The Ice Storm. She only got a 1300 on her SATs though.
Wentworth Miller from Prison Break went to Princeton.</p>
<p>"How the hell do u get a 1206 anyways?"</p>
<p>In prior decades the SAT was scored out to the last digit.</p>
<p>so, PrescitedEntity , which do you think is more important: cleverness or smartness?</p>
<p>So it looks like Dolph Lundgren is the smartest at this point. Masters in Chemical Engineering, yeah, he's pretty smart.</p>

<p>Never heard of him.</p>
<p>^ He's the mannnn. Garden State is his creation and he's the main character. Love that movie so much... (and scrubs is funny lol)</p>
<p>Amen for Scrubs.</p>
<p>Braff went to Northwestern for film though.</p>

He's a badass.</p>
<p>I just looked up Dolph Lundgren on Wikipedia...</p>
<p>He is a badass. :p</p>
<p>Dolph Lundgren is definitely not a mega-star. However, he did play significant roles in major movies like Rocky IV, Universal Soldier, Masters of the Universe, the Punisher etc... His acting ability is questionable to be certain. His intelligence, on the other hand, is definitely worthy of respect. </p>
<p>I just noticed this...I posted that Zach Braff went to NU above Figgy's post. It disappeared for some reason, but that's what his arrow was supposed to be pointing at.</p>
<p>Asia Carrera, porn star, is a member of mensa</p>
<p>Many now famous celebrities are famous today and got into a top college because they came from wealthy backrounds. Many of these celebrities applied to college at a time when the 'donation' their parents made was a huge factor in the admission process. You cannot judge a person's intelligence based on the school they went to, ecspecially considering the time period.<br>
Also, MENSA is a meaningless designation</p>
<p>Quentin Tarantino's IQ=160
Bill Gates IQ=160
Shakira IQ=140
Arnold Schwarzenegger IQ=135</p>
<p>Wow Arnold's got smart company. (No suprise that Shakira is smart...shes amazing lol [and bilingual hah])</p>
<p>Are these IQ numbers self reported? They seem awfully high.</p>
<p>Without being funny, many porn stars are quite intelligent. Jessica Steinhauser (aka, Asia Carrera) is definitely smart, but so are a few others.</p>
<p>1) Tristan Taormino graduated from Wesleyan with honors. She is more of a sex educator than porn star, but she has acted in several high profile x rated movies. </p>
<p>2) Natalie Oliveros (aka, Savanna Samson) has also accomplished a great deal, including the successful growing and marketing of Sogno Uno, one of the World's best wine. </p>
<p>3) Rhea Alexandria Devlugt (aka, Jasmin St Claire) is an alumna of Columbia...and she got in because of her academic credentials, not fame. </p>
<p>4) Ron "the Hedgehog Jeremy" Hyatt. Not only is he an alum of Stuyvesant, he was admitted into several top universities but turned them down in favor of a full-ride to a CUNY. He also happens to be a very lively wit! Oh, he can also perform self-fellatio! Yuck!!!</p>
<p>5) Marie Louise Hartman (ask Nina Hartley) is one of the most articulate people I have ever heard in a debate.</p>
<p>6) Jenna Jameson wrote a bestseller. Her rise to starhood is a classic textbook example of marketing genius. She has probably singlehandly brought porn to the mainstream. She also made O'Reilly look like a fool, which isn't always easy.</p>
<p>I am sure there are many more highly polished and intelligent adult stars, but those are the ones that come to mind.</p>
