DES MOINES, Iowa -- The SmartTalk committee always pulls through with a phenomenal speaker! Everytime.You know the cosmetic line Lancome, right? Remember the familiar face in the 80’s (and for 14 years after) of a beautiful, sophisticated, near-perfect Italian model? That’s Isabella Rosssellini.Isabella Rossellini is a sophisticated classic we all should know more about. She’s brilliant, talented, beautiful and reverent. She was born in Rome and came to New York at 19 to study English. Once established with Lancome for years, she finally came out of her shell and became their spokesperson. And from that point on, everything she touched seemed to turn to gold.She’s done comedy, TV reporting, stage productions, writing and philanthropy, just to name a few successes. She’s even been on 30-Rock.Her latest film to look for this fall (2011) is Late Bloomers, a comedy about a couple in their senior years.And the most shocking, and yes, successful career move of Isabella Rossellini is her interest, research and production of Green Porno. Green Porno is the mating habits of sea creatures, earth worms and house flies. This too, will air for viewing ‘pleasure?’ on the Discovery channel.Did you know earth worms mate by lying in the 69 position? Classic beauty queen Isabella Rossellini takes us down an entirely different path exploring, explaining and humoring us with such facts. Enjoy?Once again, SmartTalk has introduced Des Moines to a new way of looking at the world.Look for the last two SmartTalk speakers May 16 and 18 at the Civic Center.
