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!
140 - Elisabeth Shue
Elisabeth Shue was a rising star back in the 80s and 90s. She was considered one of the hotties of the time, and landed huge roles that jumpstarted her career, such as leading roles in "The Karate Kid," "Back to the Future Part II and III," "Leaving Las Vegas," "Hollow Man," "Cocktail," and many more. Apart from being nominated for Golden Globes, BAFTA, and an Academy Award, Shue is also incredibly smart.
She was inducted into her high school’s Hall of Fame and attended Wellesley College. And as if that weren’t enough, her IQ of 140 got her into Harvard in 1985. However, due to her acting success, she had to pause her studies until 2000, when she finally graduated from Harvard with a Bachelor's in Political Science.
163 - Kris Kristofferson
Kristofferson made a name for himself as a country singer, who later achieved international stardom as an actor by landing roles in Martin Scorsese’s 1974 classic, "Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore." He went on to star in "Flashpoint," "I’m Not There," "A Star Is Born," "Where the Red Fern Grows," "Planet of the Apes," and many others.
Kris’s IQ of 163 helped him achieve the rank of Captain whilst in the U.S. Army, and also prompted him to graduate summa cum laude with a Bachelor's in Literature from Pomona College. As if that weren’t enough, he went on to study at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor's in English Literature in 1960.
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!
158 - Laura Shields
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.
