The Des Moines Register will welcome America's most prestigious lecture series to Des Moines for its third season at the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines.

A celebrity-based spoken word series, SMART TALK brings the most intriguing and influential women of the day face-to-face with audiences in an intimate theatrical setting.

With that film she helped redefine the role of women in Hollywood. A-list actress, Mensa member, former model, pianist, competitive archer, producer, and mother, Davis is also the founder of SeeJane, a program designed to increase the number of female characters and to reduce gender stereotyping in media made for children eleven and under.
