Bright as in intelligent? TJ Hart has 3 degrees from University of Colorado: Sociology, Psychology and one more. Also swam on the USA Swim Team. Claudia Adkins (Russian) who's favorite position was the pile-driver is a Neurologist.
For the purposes of this thread, what would the OP consider as making a person bright? Their IQ? The number of college degrees? Attending a particular educational institution? What about post-graduate education?

Most are high school or collee drop out party girls. But I know a few that went back to school when they got too old to do porn.
There are some smart girls in porn. Not too many of them, but they are out there. Mina Leigh is kind of brainy. I think Sasha Grey is brighter than most. There are a few others but I can't remember who they are right at the moment.
VJ's a pretty bright girl. Adrenalynn is very hip on the technological front. Stoya ain't no dummy. Gia Jordan is very talented at photography, which isn't super easy to be a pro at. Now beyond the few girls i always fawn over... Daniella Rush was in Med School (or was she a Dr?) for part of the time she was in porn. I had heard Claudia Adkins had some form of degree but she's really a neurologist? that's crazy. i always loved watching her scenes and that makes her that much cooler if it's true.
Getting a bit of deja-vu from this, haven't we had this thread before? Doesn't Carly Parker have a philosophy degree? Proof that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover... But I'm not sure that a college degree is a very reliable indication of intelligence; education certainly doesn't tell the whole story, and plenty of the people I know with degrees are complete idiots. You certainly can't judge a porn performer's intelligence from what she does on camera, and not all of them spend much time communicating with their fans. How about the porn performers who build and run their own websites? Getting a decent site up and running, and keeping it updated, definitely shows some intelligence and focus. Monica Foster and Annie Cruz spring to mind, and there are quite a few amateurs who claim to create their own content and run DIY websites.
Sasha Grey is one of the most intelligent i have had the pleasure of meeting or knowing male or female. she is bright on a lot of things and just always wants to know more. she has no limits on what she knows or wants to know you name it she knows it music, classical movies,Art history, she is one of the most open minded people i have met at her age it blows my mind. Lauren Phoenix when i met her at AEE 2006 she was talking med school she just presented herself as bright and very smart. i have to say that many of the girls in the industry are very bright. i consider Lexi love a very smart person along with a a lot of the girls i wont lie there are some that are Daft or not smart at all. that said over all i think many are smarter than some of us myself included Dan
I have to add BOBBI STARR to this list - she is amazing and if you have read any of her replies in these forums you will understand why I think she is probably one of the "brightist"
I was going to say the same thing. She's a talented musician too IIRC. Bobbi always strikes me as being very together and a very smart lady. A lot more than a pretty face. I reckon she will go far if she wants to.
Ryan Conner is very smart and savvy. (I still wish she would comeback) Based on her interviews and what I've seen Stoya seems to have a good head on her shoulders. She communicates well, is very diplomatic and I predict her to have very fruitful career.
Sasha Grey may be the brightest porn star I've ever come across. She's young and sexy and smart and hot. You could actually discuss classic foreign films with this girl. But in the end, it's her dirty, filthy, sexy mind that makes her so attractive!
I agree and that is one of the things that is held against football players. People say that jocks have low GPAs and horrible test scores as if that is the only way to measure intelligence. Many high level managers at Wal-Mart have terrible test scores and are very succesful leaders. Football players have understand the functions of many complex plays and interpret body reactions in order to catch, intercept and tackle succesfully.
I would agree with the website thing but any peformer who becomes a decent director has certain type of intelligence. Perhaps they are not well rounded but they have some type of intelligence.
Asia carrerea is part of mensa and also part of my goddessed of lust angels. Her intelligence is not a farce. When she is not doing porn she is involved in techie computer games. I am not sure what it was but it was someting that I could not grasp.
Hi Random, What I don't get is why do people think it is so hard to find smart girls in porn. There a plenty of dumb girls in porn, but I see a plenty of dumb women outside of porn. I can use any measure and the dumbness and smartness of non-porn women is equal to the dumbness and smartness of porn women.
I could name a whole bunch of porn people that would tell you they are smart. Does that count? lol There are at least three kinds of bright- 1. Those that are street smart, with not much formal education. 2. Those that are naive in the ways of the world, but are book smart. 3. Those that are street wise and educated. Here are just a few that impressed me as bright when I interviewed them- Ashly Blue, Aurora Snow, Violet Blue aka No-Name Jane, Kylie Ireland, Eli Cross, Syren, Joanna Angel, Brittany Andrews, Nina Hartley, Stormy, David Aaron Clark, DCypher, Thomas Zupko, Kimberly Kane, Michael Raven, jessica drake, Otto Bauer, Audrey Hollander, Will Ryder....

Daniella Rush is now a Dr in Czech Republic but is confined to a wheelchair after a car crash several years ago. Sabrine Maui, Shyla Stylez and Nina Hartley were/are registered nurses. Must have been lots more porn girls who trained as nurses I think.
