I was just now reading a review of Jamie Bernstein's memoir (she was famed conductor Leonard Bernstein's daughter), and she recounted a bit about her life with her dynamic and talented dad.
In "Famous Father Girl," she writes that "at her 28th birthday party, before a group of people, Bernstein 'gestured to a crease in his forehead and said to [Jamie.] 'You see this line here that runs right down the middle? That's the Line of Genius. You don't have one.' "
Of course, besides being thrown by a father's put-down of his child, I wondered if perhaps I had this sign on my forehead. No, I am humbled to report. I do not.
So, I thought I need to test this theory. I selected only one other person as I do not wish to test Bernstein's theory too much lest I know that it is valid and I have been once again left behind. LOL
I selected Bill Gates. To my mind, he, too, is a creative genius.
He has the Line of Genius, too. Nuts!
Leonard Bernstein showing his "Line of Genius" on his forehead.
Bill Gates showing his "Line of Genius," too.

I failed the test so badly that I had the wrong word in the title.
Wondering if my face creams erased my "Line of Genius." (I am really LOLing over this.)

Marie,
He was tricky to navigate for a daughter, according to the review of the book. However, revealing a loving heart, his daughter did love him always, even if hurt or repulsed by some of his questionable behavior. He had a habit of French-kissing anyone after an evening of booze and pills. Ugh!

All the lines on my face denote maturity, experience, and worry. I doubt I will ever be mistaken for being a "genius".

Decided to continue random tests:
Alexander Graham Bell has the infamous "11" but don't all of us have that, even if faintly there? Surely, he is a genius. OR, does he have the "Line of Genius" between his "11?"
Not seeing anything on this rendition of Will Shakespeare.
Nothing for Emily Dickinson.
Marie Curie has the "11."
Albert Einstein seems to have the "11," too.
Does Jeff Bezos have the "Line of Genius" or a lopsided "11?"

I don't know, Bikerbabe, but you apparently make the grade as a genius! Studious, too. Wonderful!
