Download via rapidshare.com TEDTalks: Anna Deavere Smith (2005)Actor Anna Deavere Smith brings the TED audience to their feet as she gives life to a series of quintessential Americans. Smith transforms herself in and out of character as she embodies legendary author Studs Terkel, followed by convict Paulette Jenkins, a Korean merchant in Los Angeles after the 1992 riots, and finally a rodeo bull rider. The monologues are drawn verbatim from interviews she conducted for On the Road: A Search for American Character.
