[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4017892, member: 19675"] Not all celebrities are as troubled or vacuous as the current crop of A-listers sometimes seems to be. Some of them have more than just charisma, and are genuine intellectuals, or are prominent in fields other than what makes them famous. I was reading this article about geniuses in Hollywood: [url]http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/celebrity/becksmith.jsp?p=bsf_notdumbblondes[/url] Of course, it wasn't a comprehensive list... Two celebs not on that list that spring to mind for me: Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, guitarist for the Doobie Brothers & Steely Dan --> Defense Consultant & chairs a Congressional Advisory Board on missile defense. Brian May, guitarist for Queen --> PhD in Astrophysics. Any other (not neccessarily genius) celeb surprises out there? [/QUOTE]
