Today, I begin a new section of my blog dedicated to profiling real life smart babes.
For the next several weeks, I will highlight women from various fields: media, entertainment, academic, business, philanthropy, etc. who I think you will agree are incredible sexy.
And a large part of their (and anyone's sexiness), I will argue, come from their intelligence.
First up is Natalie Portman.
Natalie is fluent in English, Hebrew, and French and has studied Japanese, German and Arabic.
She has taught at Columbia University in March 2006 as a guest lecturer on a course on terrorism and counterterrorism, where she spoke about her film V for Vendetta.
She is passionate about math and science.
While still in high school, her 1998 high school paper on the "Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen" was entered in the Intel Science Talent Search.

She has said, "I'd rather be smart than a movie star."
Fortunately, she shows that you can be both.
