Great actors and intelligence: Who are the wise men of Hollywood?

Which Hollywood actors graduated from college? Why do Al Pacino with silence and Jack Nicholson with speech prove their wisdom? Why did the directors think that Julia Roberts is a moron? Why does Merly Streep think acting is sometimes masochistic?

You are used to reading about the most beautiful, the most charming of Hollywood. This time you are dealing with the wisest. Therefore, precisely for this reason, this research is special, which you can read in the Telegraph below.

HERE "GOD HAS A FINGER"

The topic that will be discussed here is not that complicated. Then again, Hollywood can't stand out as a place where there are lots of very wise people. But, Hollywood does not even underestimate itself in this aspect. Finally, all that business that is done through the "Dream Factory" proves that those who are at the top of Hollywood have extraordinary skills. However, when it comes to Hollywood actors, here, as experts say, there is no room for great praise. The vast majority of them, in fact, claim that "God has a finger" when it comes to their talent and that's all, or rather, that's enough for them to be extremely successful and earn seven-figure royalties. intelligence quotients that only recognize two-digit numbers, not very close to a hundred.

Let's face it, actors of the caliber of Clark Gable, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Laurence Olivier, Marlon Brando, Alain Ladd, Clint Eastwood, Montgomery Clift, don't have a day of college. Henry Fonda was at least enrolled at the University of Minnesota, while Burt Lancaster dropped out of New York University. James Dean listened to some lectures at the University of California. The famous James Stewart, you will enjoy even more as an actor who graduated from Princeton University.

In actresses, Katherine Hepburn had completed the faculty. Others referred to natural endowment. That was enough.

DAVID DUCHOVNY AND THE WORK FOR SAMUEL BECKETT

However, even now things are not much better in this respect. But there are exceptions here. Let's take it, David Duchovny, who is the main protagonist in the famous series "X Files", has been announced by the magazine Movieline as "the most educated actor in Hollywood". Duchovny graduated in literature from Princeton and then even got a doctorate from Yale. Duchovny has even drawn up interesting theses on the work of Samuel Beckett.

But researching intelligence among Hollywood actors will lead nowhere if it insists on college degrees. Such are few. However, there are wise actors, there is no dilemma. Take Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino. These two have no schools behind them, but few dispute their mental prowess. Pacino, they say, is a rather strange man, because he is too lazy to talk about himself and his films. His intelligence can therefore not be noticed much in the direct meeting. But those who have followed his career claim that Pacino is very wise.

Nicholson is a different type. He does not hide that throughout his life he has collected lessons from others. Nicholson is able to learn on the spot and adapt the experience of others to his own needs. Finally, even in his roles, his ability to transform is extraordinary and at the same time it is a confirmation of his skill and wisdom.

THE WISDOM THAT COST WILLIAM HURT

William Hurt is deservedly featured in this particular anthology. Hurt probably did not find it that difficult to get a proper education, because his family was known as a family with an educational tradition. Hurt, as such, was often forced to be arrogant towards other directors and actors, who could not understand what he was asking. His intelligence started to become an obstacle for his engagements as an actor and many appreciate that, despite his great talent and skills, he still hasn't shown what he knows as an actor. His role in the film "One true thing" seems to fit his biography very well: In this film, Hurt plays a brilliant university professor who, after writing a book, experiences a strange blockage.

Kevin Spacey of "American Beauty" and "LA Confidential" is also an actor who deserves to be on this list. Spacey has a special kind of acting, a mixture of English theater and American film, which makes him often compared to Laurence Olivier. Here, you can't forget Mel Gibson, who started his career as a vengeful policeman in "Mad Max", while now he stands out as a director with an Oscar in his pocket.

Among women, almost no one disputes that Meryl Streep is the smartest actress in Hollywood. In this, however, wisdom has not become an obstacle as in William Hurt. Anyone who knows Meryl Streep claims that she is a very eloquent and rational woman. The directors who have worked with her claim that other actresses, next to her, are somehow ashamed, because she invests so much in her roles, it is almost like theater roles. Then, which is a story in itself, as the directors who have made films with her say, Meryl Streep is able to brilliantly play characters who have much less intelligence than her.

"Acting is a kind of masochism," she claimed. "Often, you have to put yourself in positions that irritate and irritate you. But it is this kind of pain that fascinates you. Actors cannot live without roles, without acting. And I'm happy with my life as an actress," said Streep.

JODY FOSTER: PRIVATE LIFE, THEN FILM

Sigourney Weaver is also praised as a wise actress. It is known that Weaver in the movie "Alien" is the only one who resists the "alien being", thanks to her skill and wisdom. When she speaks, Sigourney has a rational calm that fascinates you.

You probably expected Jody Foster on this list. She graduated from Yale University, won an Oscar for her roles, is a producer and director. Her intelligence has stood out even with the preservation of her private life. Few people know what her life is really like outside the stage and cameras. Jody Foster, who played Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of Lambs", values ​​her private life more than film successes.

At the end of this special anthology for the wisest actresses is, who else but Julia Roberts. Julia is the highest paid actress of today with around 20 million dollars in royalties for a movie. With all the controversies that have followed her career and private life, Julia has maintained the image of a great and wise actress. You will not believe that at the beginning of her career, the directors, perhaps fond of her grace and beauty, thought that she is a moron who does not know anything about anything. You know that in the movie "Pretty Woman" that made her extremely popular, she played the role of a laver, in which Richard Gere falls in love. It seems that her role in the movie "Erin Brockovich", where she plays a strange but very resourceful lawyer, is the most objective reflection of her real life. It is now known that directors bow to her.
