Courteney Cox – 122

Cox is better known to classic television viewers as Monica Geller from the classic sitcom Friends and is familiar to Scream fans for playing the role of Gale Weathers.  Her first breakthrough appearance was on Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark music video. She used to work in the video game company Bethesda for a short period of time. Cox also studied architecture at Mount Vernon College, but despite having an advantage, with her IQ of 122, she did not decide to finish her studies.

Instead, she went into acting. Luckily this ended in success, and she was quickly cast in small roles in both movies and TV shows. Besides acting, she has a talent for playing both piano and drums. This actress has proven that despite not having a degree, one can become a success through hard work and planning. There really is a lot to learn from her.
