We've shown you the celebrities who graduated from Ivy-League schools and went on to bright futures in Hollywood.
But what about the ones who never even made it past the 12th grade?
From celebrities like Humphrey Bogart, who was expelled from prep school, to Pamela Anderson who, let's face it, probably wouldn't have gone anywhere different with a degree, here are 20 celebrities who still made it big without higher education.
Some probably could have used a bit more schooling.
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson decided to drop out of high school when she caught the attention of Columbia Records' executive producer Tommy Mottola.
The singer was immediately signed to the label. But don't worry, Simpson eventually earned her GED.
Now we're sure she knows what chicken of the sea really is.
Jim Carrey
The Canadian born comedian was clearly headed for stardom from day one, so it's no surprise that he dropped out of school at 16.
Though most people can't say the same, the drop worked out well for him—Carey went on to make hilarious films after his big break as the "token white guy" (as he called it on "The Tonight Show") on "In Living Color."
Paris Hilton
The Hilton heiress moved around and was constantly changing schools.
She attended freshman year of high school in California but was quickly moved to the East Coast to attend the Convent of the Sacred Heart, where Lady Gaga was also a student at the time. But that didn't last long either.
After finally settling in at Caterbury Boarding School in Connecticut, Hilton was promptly expelled for violating school rules.
