Super smart celebs Who said you cant be super smart and be a talented actor as well? I’m sure someone, somewhere said that at some time but we have done some digging and found these super smart women who have talents that stretch way beyond the big screens of hollywood. Mayim Bialik – better known as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory does not have to pretend to be smart for this role. Mayim graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree and a PhD in neuroscience. Natalie Portman – Harvard University graduate and proud science geek, she has been published in two scientific journals. And believe it or not, Natalie was also a guest lecturer at a course in terrorism and counter terrorism at Columbia Uni. Jordana Brewster – The need for speed is not the only thing this Fast and the Furious star strives for. The Yale University student describes herself as a nerd who was obsessed with getting good grades in college. good vibes Lisa Kudrow – Now this is one Friends star that I would have liked helping me at exam time when I was at school. Before she became Phoebe in Friends, she worked in clinical research and nearly got her studies published before she decided to head for Hollywood instead. If she ever bores of acting and superstardom she can always fall back on her biology degree.
