>>211394520 (OP)>areAre, or were? Not interested in restricting myself to things that happened in the last five minutes. Anyway a few random examples:
โ Orson Welles obviously had a very high I.Q., but he doesn't really count, because everyone knows this.
โ Supposedly James Woods scored very highly on his S.A.T.s or something, if that means anything.
โ Robert Mitchum, IIRC, had a genius level I.Q. That seems quite believable to me. He always seems unworried and just faintly amused by things, the way some high-IQ people are.
โ Supposedly the woman in Born Yesterday (Judy Holliday) was very sharp, but cultivated a ditzy persona to get ahead. (I just checked and apparently she scored 172 on an IQ test when she was ten. But they scale things so much that if you're precocious you can easily score very high at a young age. Most such people then go on to achieve nothing.)
โ Isn't Geena Davis a member of MENSA? Not sure that proves much, but there it is, if it's true.
