Beauty with Brains

So, for me Mila Kunis was a winner in the Oscars. But, who stole the whole show was Natalie Portman with the glorious glow on her face and cute round stomach. And, what an amazing dress it was from Rodarte. Yes, there is a little controversy over her not donning the Dior even though she signed an endorsement deal recently with the enterprise. But, lets leave that. The fact that I wanted to point out was that this lady is a beauty with brains. You should read this article to know what I am exactly talking about. To give a gist, this lady was one of the semi-finalist of one of the most difficult and esteemed competitions, Intel Science Talent Search, held by Intel in 1998 in which she worked with two of the now famous scientists and wrote a paper. Then, she went on to get a Bachelors degree in psychology from Harvard. And, along with all this, she has been working in the movies since 1994. She sure is heck of a lady. 

This disproves the notion of when you have a good face, you have nothing behind it !!
