Ashley Judd's Mission

Nov 2, 2007 AT 04:08 pm

Ashely Judd wore a Hindu Tilaka made of pearl on her forehead, at the world premiere screening of the National Geographic Channel documentary 'India's Hidden Plague: Ashley Judd's Mission' in Washington DC. This cause is near and dear to her heart. Ashley has contributed to AIDS awareness for several years now. This documentary is just the latest of a string of effort put forth by this movie star with a heart.

Far away from her glamorous life in Hollywood she is on a journey to Mumbai in India in her role as Global Ambassador for Youth AIDS and Population Services International (PSI). This is a city of shocking contrasts, where extreme poverty sits next to huge wealth, the poor next to millionaires. It's a place where HIV is rife. Ashley's mission becomes a rollercoaster of emotions as she meets the people for whom AIDS has deeply affected their lives. They tell their stories candidly and openly, Ashley hopes that by doing this she can take those stories and experiences back to a world that might take notice.

She is so beautiful; she is smart and educated as well.

I always wonder if she will have children? Seems like the world could do with a few little Ashleys.

The statement there is ridiculous... substitute Mumbai in India for Los Angeles in the United States and nothing else would need to be changed. I admire the heart here but the sentiment is a little limo liberal. Beverly Hills and Skid Row share the same city people! Less exotic to profile the chasm of feast and famine in L.A. I am sure, but just as badly needed.

sorry, sort of unrelated, but what is with the John Cusack ad as wall paper to this site. It looks TERRIBLE!
