I removed this: "She has an IQ of 164, thus, was able to skip four grades in school." Any reliable source for this (not the IMDB)? Einstein had 148. Maybe a misheard "under sixty-four"? -- Harro 00:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

  • What would you consider reliable? Kristel doesn't appear to have a website, and a Google search reveals a number of webpages (not Wikimirrors) repeating the claim. The fact Einstein had 148 has actually been cited as an example of why the IQ system is faulty since for a man of his genius, that number is actually considered quite low ... so it is very possible Kristel might have scored higher than him. 23skidoo 22:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I definitely don't consider the IMDB reliable, or other movie pages that probably copied from there. Newspapers or a sound biography would do. Strange, that a soft porn actress with such an IQ wouldn't receive more attention. Mensa members do have an IQ of about 130 or more (afaik), so 164 would still be extraordinary - unless her IQ test had been "faulty". -- Harro 23:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
      • It's not unheard of. Asia Carrera, a well-known hardcore movie actress, is a card-carrying member of Mensa and there have also been numerous Playboy playmates in there too. Jayne Mansfield, despite her bubble-headed image, apparently had a genius-level IQ as well. I don't discount everything listed in IMDb automatically as some people do, but I agree something like this could do with another citation. I'm surprised no one has done a fan page for her yet as she's something of a cult figure. 23skidoo 02:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sylvia Kristel

Yes, indeed! I can't understand why someone has not yet started a fan page about Sylvia Kristel, when in fact, many other actresses of lesser calibre, popularity and talent, have their own fan pages. (Jonath Amaro).

[edit] She is the daughter of a conductor and she had a Catholic upbringing

This is in fact wrong, although her father was named John Kristel and there was a dutch John Kristel who was a conductor. Her father was a champion clay pigeon shooter and became deaf, the conductor John (born Joop Kristel) Kristel never had a child.
