Lisa Kudrow Smarter Than You Think
Kudrow is still most famous for playing airheads, specifically Phoebe on Friends and one of either Romy or Michel in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (I can never remember which was which). Yet despite her reputation as your typical dumb blonde, she’s actually pretty sharp. She has a Bachelors in biology from Vasser, and spent eight years being a lab rat, working in her father’s research institute, and garnering herself a publication — she’s one of the few celebrities to have a peer reviewed publication to their name. She was also the Friends star with the first Emmy win and most nominations, though that doesn’t really speak for her intelligence.
Rowan Atkinson Smarter Than You Think
In the USA Rowan Atkinson is best known for his near-silent goofy role of Mr. Bean, the hapless, gormless and generally oblivious manchild with a limited intellect. It’s very easy to think that Atkinson would be somewhat similar, given his love for that role and his other ventures into goofball comedy, like Johnny English. However, Atkinson, by all accounts, is a quiet and fiercely intelligent man. He’s politically active in preserving free speech and gay rights. He has a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Oxford. He’s also famously reclusive, rarely giving interviews, and listing his profession as ”engineer” on his passport.
Cindy Crawford Smarter Than You Think
To say that Cindy Crawford is still mind-blowingly gorgeous at 45 is the understatement of the century. She was arguably the most well known model fo the 90s, and possibly the most gorgeous woman of the decade — an even years later she’s utterly stunning. So, what about the brains? She was valedictorian of her High School class, had a 4.0 grade average, and was awarded a full ride to Northwestern to study chemical engineering. Getting a full academic scholarship to one of the best universities in the country is a pretty good indicator to me have some brains to back up those looks. Yeah, she dropped out after a semester to pursue modeling full time, but looking at how well she did out of it, strikes me as probably the right move for her.
Kate Beckinsale Smarter Than You Think
See, I’d suggest you’d have to be not-very-smart in order to not only star in the Underworld movies, and then do an even worse vampire/werewolf crossover with Van Helsing. Plus, you know, Pearl Harbor. Despite being used mostly as eye candy in the movies she’s been in, Beckinsale was an accomplished writer as a teen. She twice won the W. H. Smith Young Writers’ competition — once for three short stories and once for three poems. While at University, she studied French and Russian Literature, but didn’t finish her degree, instead focusing on acting. Then again, maybe she’s not so smart: Click, Vacancy, Whiteout, and she’s even signed up for another Underworld movie.
