hedy lamarr - from IMDB trivia: Was co-inventor (with composer George Antheil) of the earliest known form of the telecommunications method known as "frequency hopping", which used a piano roll to change between 88 frequencies and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or to jam. The method received U.S. patent number 2,292,387 on August 11, 1942, under the name "Secret Communications System". Frequency hopping is now widely used in cellular phones and other modern technology. However, neither she nor Antheil profited from this fact, because their patents were allowed to expire decades before the modern wireless boom.
james woods was in MIT.
ann sheridan - from IMDB trivia: According to an article in The Newark Evening News, Ann kept busy during her 1941 strike from Warner Bros. by rebuilding abandoned cars at a friend's garage.

JAMES WOODS. He was considered a brilliant student, enrolling in a UCLA linear algebra course while still attending high school. He scored a perfect 800 on the verbal SAT and a 779 on the math portion. He was accepted into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a full scholarship, majoring not in the physical sciences but in political science. He also pursued acting, appearing in 36 plays at MIT, Harvard, and the Theater Company of Boston and also performed in summer stock at the Provincetown Playhouse.

 Ross Martin was born to a Polish Jewish family in Gródek, Poland. His family immigrated to New York City when he was an infant. He spoke Polish, Yiddish and some Russian before learning English and later added French, Spanish and Italian to his repertoire. Martin attended City College of New York where he graduated magna cum laude. He later earned a law degree from George Washington University. -- Wikipedia As a camp counselor in the Catskills in 1939, the 19 year old Martin mentored a 12 year old camper.

Along with James Woods, Tommy Lee Jones and Jodie Foster, I've read that Sharon Stone and Richard Burton have/had genius level I.Q.s.

Krzysztof Zanussi, (17 June1939) is an eminent Polish film and theatre director, actor producer and screenwriter. He is a professor of European film at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland where he conducts a summer workshop. He is also a professor at the Silesian University in Katowice.
He graduated in physics from the University of Warsaw in 1959, and from the department of philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in 1962. He then graduated directing studies at the Public Academy of Film, Television and Theatre in Łódź in 1966.
Probably the most important period of cinematic art in Zanussi's life took place in the 1970s & 80's when his films
were said to belong to the so-called ‘cinema of moral anxiety’. This label was given to films focusing on the existential issues affecting Polish society and more broadly our humanity. Zanussi’s compelling thought provoking cinema is mostly built upon a conflicting triangle involving science, moral and religion.
In addition to filmmaking, Zanussi is also active in teaching and directing theatre and opera. He has taught in film schools in Łódź, the National Film School in Britain and in Copenhagen. He directs in theatres in Milan, Palermo, Bonn, Kraków, Basel and Rome.
Zanussi has also received the titles of "doctor honoris causa" at the Moscow Film Institute WGiK (1998), European University in Minsk (2001), National University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest (2001), New Bulgarian University (2002), State University of Television and Film in St. Petersburg (2004), and Catholic University in Valencia (2004).
Krzysztof Zanussi's profound body of film works are highly recommended tracking them down with Eng. Subs. can be a challenge. a few of his many excellent films available
Iluminacja . The Illumination (1973)
Barwy ochronne , Camouflage (1977)
Kontrakt (1980)
Rok spokojnego slonca , A Year of the Quiet Sun (1984)

Douglas Fairbanks, a lifelong Anglophile was also fluent in French and an acknowledged expert in international affairs. He perfected a system of naval deception learned under Lord Mountbatten , which he convinced the USnavy to use in Sicily and through the Mediterranean with great success. He was also an accomplished painter and sculpter.

Okay, no Hedy Lamarrs, but here are some very interesting ones: Jody Foster (who is brilliant) graduated from Yale in 1985 with a degree in literature. Ashley Judd (who is also brilliant) in 2009 earned a Master's degree in Public Administration at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. more to come. . . i knew FOSTER was brainy. didnt know about JUDD. |

Jayne Mansfield"Amazingly, her I.Q. was reported to be a 163, and she attended the University of Dallas and participated in little-theatre productions." Sort of sad that the biography writer felt it necessary to say "amazingly".

All an I.Q. of 135 means is that a person is of above average intelligence. Clearly Julie worked hard at school, and she had a knack for making pantyhose. Nonetheless your post has inspired me, so I am going to log off now and get to work designing women's underwear. |
