For example, unlike most celebrities who slap their name on perfumes, she actually worked really hard to have an understanding of the chemicals involved, the structure and business of perfumery, and she impressed the perfume people who interacted with her.

So I am not surprised that she would take pains to read the books, research the context, and really get involved. She's the type to do their homework.

That is just great PR that you've believed to be the truth.

No she's not considered an intellectual at all. She came from a huge, impoverished family and paid for everything with her acting (like Jodie Foster did).

I don't think she even went to college.

But she may well enjoy reading and have something to contribute. She wouldn't be doing it unless she wanted to.

I agree with this. And I can believe she's more knowledgeable about contemporary fiction than most. She always has a book on set.

How do you know she always has a book on set? Are you there? Or just regurgitating her press?

She’s been photographed holding or reading a book many times, and regularly promotes contemporary authors on social media. Why so bitter? Not all celebrities are grifting morons.
