Tommy Lee Jones | 135

 


Tommy Lee Jones is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and is best known for his roles in old Westerns. In recent years, he has also shown versatility as an actor and starred in comedy action films like the Men in Black series and the crime thriller No Country for Old Men. But Jones doesn’t just wow fans with his acting skills. His educational background is just as impressive.

Jones was raised in Midland, Texas, and attended Robert E. Lee High School. Later, he moved to Dallas and graduated from the St. Mark’s School of Texas in 1965. He had a scholarship for both high school and college. In 1969, he graduated cum laude and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Harvard College. Not too surprising since he does have an IQ of 135. As an upperclassman, Jones was roommates with Al Gore and Bob Somerby.
