Famous girl geeks?

Who can think of any famous girl geeks or geeky female celebrities? Currently I can only think of Gillian Anderson for some reason. Do you think that female celebrities who starred in geeky movies are actually geeky or not?

Take care.

(We certainly are famous within the company).

Martha Stewart is something of a geek, even though she isnt as much of a techie type geek. She is a MacGyver when it comes to crafts. (Doesnt being able to go to a primitive forest with only basic tools and build a modern palace out of foliage count for anything)? (Okay this is part tongue in cheek....lol); ▶ Reply to This

Summer Glau has been in Firefly, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and a running joke in XKCD, but, personally, is she a geek?

I mean, there should be some geek creds, here - like macho Mr. action star Vin Diesel is a geek - a D&D geek no less. Similar standards should be given for famous geek girls.

The name that comes to my mind is Ursula LeGuin [sp?] - who is the first female name I think of when I think of scifi.
