With an IQ of 158, Laura Shields was never your typical model/actress. In fact, she graduated with honors from Leeds University, with a chemical engineering master’s degree, no less! Born in the UK, Shields started a modeling career at a young age, eventually winning the title of Miss UK in 2004.
A few years after her win, she tried her hand in acting but a real career in the field was never in store for her. She has no more than five credits to her name, one of them being uncredited, and another in a Justin Timberlake music video. However, with that kind of brain, we are sure that whatever non-showbiz path she has taken, she is doing great. Shields is a member of Mensa, the high IQ society.
125 - Mira Sorvino
Sorvino was introduced to acting life very early on, with her dad, Paul Sorvino, being a worldwide famous actor known for his epic roles in "Goodfellas," "Dick Tracy," and other major motion pictures. In fact, as a young girl, Mira would write her own plays and she and a friend would star in them! She got her rise to fame after winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Mighty Aphrodite."
But this girl isn’t only an incredibly talented actress, she's quite the genius, too. With an IQ of 125, she graduated magna cum laude at Harvard, with a degree in East Asian Studies, and she lived in China for a year, where she learned Mandarin fluently. And, she dated Quentin Tarantino for two years!
165 - Myles Jeffrey
Jeffrey got his 15 minutes of fame when he played a role in the 1990’s "Face/Off," alongside John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. He went on to star in "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Babe: Pig in the City." Most of his acting roles were in the early 2000s but after 2003 they became few and far between.
The most recent part he got on the screen was in 2018 in the Bruce Willis action drama "Reprisal". Jeffrey is actually a certified genius! When he was only 6 years old, he tested in the 99th percentile of an IQ test, scoring an impressive 165!
147 - Jim Morrison
With an IQ of 147, Jim Morrison certainly had the brains to back up his musical genius. Not to mention being one of the most handsome musicians in rock n' roll history. Morrison earned his Bachelor's degree in Film from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and even created several short films during his time there, but it looks like it never turned into a full-blown career in the field.
Morrison moved to Venice Beach shortly after and became an icon of the Bohemian lifestyle and the hippie movement of the 60s. There he met The Doors band members, who were mesmerized by Morrison's unique poetry and writing abilities.
140 - Rashida Jones
Rashida Jones was born among artistic geniuses. Her father, Quincy Jones, is a famous musician, music producer, composer, and film producer with 80 Grammy Award nominations and 28 wins. And her mother, Peggy Lipton, was a famous 1960s actress. Needless to say, Rashida saw talent from an early age.
She was very involved in the theater and music departments whilst studying for her Bachelor's in comparative religion at Harvard University; it probably wasn't so hard for her, considering her IQ of 140! Rashida even wrote her own music scores and campus plays, many of which she performed herself. She is best known for her many appearances on "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," and countless roles in light comedies alongside Jason Segal, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, and the like.
