Marilyn Monroe’s Unverified High I.Q.
The enduring image of Marilyn Monroe as the quintessential “dumb blonde” of Hollywood is challenged by the intriguing claim that she possessed a high I.Q., allegedly measured at 168. This unverified rumor suggests that Monroe’s intelligence exceeded that of renowned physicists Albert Einstein (scored 160) and Stephen Hawking (estimated around 160).

While the authenticity of this claim remains uncertain, it underscores the complexity of Monroe’s persona and the challenges she faced in transcending the limited roles often assigned to her in the entertainment industry.
