Mona
Lisa Smile
 Academy
Award®-winner Julia Roberts heads an all-star cast featuring Kirsten
Dunst, Julia Stiles, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Marcia Gay Harden in
Mona Lisa Smile, an uplifting and poignant drama about one woman's
desire to enrich the lives of her students.
In
1953, a time when women's roles were rigidly defined, novice art
history professor Katherine Watson (Roberts) begins teaching at
the prestigious all-female Wellesley College, which despite its
academic reputation is an environment where success is measured
by how well the students marry. Encouraging these women to strive
for a more enlightened future, Watson challenges the administration
and inspires her students to look beyond the image of what is,
and consider the possibilities of what could be.
