Just saw her on TED and what a talent!

[martypree]

It's something about her voice that just makes you want to listen even if you aren't familiar with the subject matter. I love when a speaker is able to do that.

He appointed the first black professor at the college and was killed by a jealous ex-husband of a younger woman maintenance employee played by Nicole Kidman(together in a run off the road). Gary Sinise played a journalist [Anthony Hopkins] adult character contacted to write his bio. great movie
