June 21 is the birthdate of actress Judy Holliday. She is pictured with actor Broderick Crawford in the film version of “Born Yesterday” (1950), for which she received an Academy Award for Best Actress in the role of the not-so-dumb showgirl Billie Dawn. In reality, Judy was not a dumb blonde. As a child, she exhibited a profoundly high intelligence; she had a measured IQ score of 172 that placed her above the 99.999th percentile.
