82. Mischa Auer was fluent in 5 languages, played piano beautifully (his grandfather was Leopold Auer,
so music was a big deal) and attended the New York School for Ethical Culture before hitting Broadway, then the silver screen.

But was best known as a screwball character actor. I don't know his IQ, but I do know he was far more intellectually sophisticated than the characters and roles he played.

Not sure what the point is... other than many people aren't one-dimensional, which is a great thing....
