I believe Sorrell Booke was a member of Mensa.
He plays the murder victim at a Mensa like organization in a Columbo episode. The killer was played by Theodore Bikel, who IIRC was also a member of Mensa IRL

1980’s pop singer Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me With Science) founded the software company that developed ringtones.
“We'd made a software-based audio engine that could be downloaded very quickly and used files like MIDI files, but which had good fidelity because they could include actual samples of recordings.
Beatnik's strategy was effective because of how it worked—it was a software solution to a problem that other cell phone makers were trying to solve with hardware chips that cost a lot of money. Nokia, which used monophonic sounds previously, was looking to add more layers of depth to the tones coming out.
Dolby's solution was so effective that every major cell phone company of the pre-smartphone era licensed the software after Nokia had success with it.”
