Nerd Alert: Super Smart Celebs

Last week we introduced you to some smart celebrities but today we have found some super smart celebrities that will make you wanna hit the books. Obviously, there is so much more to life than grades but we think it is fun to spotlight some of the super smart celebs that rule Hollywood today.

Ben Stein - His dry sense of humor has been entertaining audiences for decades but before this news correspondent/game show host became Hollywood he was in the library studying. Stein graduated with honors in economics from Columbia University and went on to be the Valedictorian of his 1970 Yale Law School class.

Elizabeth Banks - The blonde bombshell first showed up with Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me if You Can and followed it up with a hysterical role alongside Steve Carell in the 40-Year-Old Virgin. This actor is not only super talented, she is super smart; did you know that she graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania?

Emily Bauer - This Jersey girl hit the book early and determined to strive for greatness by the time she left high school. Bauer double majored in Business and Theater at NYU and graduated with the President Honors Scholar which is awarded to those who achieve a superior GPA. Emily has spent the last few years lending her voice to Dawn in the Pokémon series.

Sara Gilbert - She stole our heart playing the unhappy daughter of Roseanne but lately this smarty has been making us laugh each week on the hit show The Big Bang Theory. In between acting gigs, Gilbert attended Yale University and graduated with an honors degree in Art & Photography.

It does not seem fair that these people are both super smart and super successful so I am off to hit the books! It seems like a lot of celebrities take education important which is really great to see, don't you think?
