Natalie Portman
Before turning her sights to acting, Natalie Portman studied ballet and modern dance at the American Theater Dance Workshop. She attended Harvard University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. While she was at Harvard, Portman was Alan Dershowitz’s research assistant and she also was co-author of two research papers, which were published in scientific journals. Portman also took graduate courses at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. What we’re trying to say is, as lightly as possible, Natalie is pretty smart.

Stephen Hawking
If there was ever any doubt that Stephen Hawking wouldn’t end up on this list is shameful. Hawking is an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and also Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His many important and ground breaking works over the years have earned him a Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
