It is true, Elizabeth Taylor, was a woman who was so beautiful, so some women try to imitate it with color contact lenses, colored dark brown hair.
She was talented and beautiful, no doubt. But I'm not entertained pushed its copy, probably because I could never imagine seeing my face when I looked in the mirror.
But when the water is endangered local fame and status by speaking out against America's treatment of people with AIDS, I found something that might try to imitate.
She is fighting the thinking of the masses at the beginning of the ' HIV/AIDS, and we all found ourselves which was already clouded, claustrophobia, fear of humanity.
The first cases of the disease in the United States were discovered in 1981. Three years later, when most AIDS patients knew better than to say all of them, Taylor organized a fund-raising event for the AIDS project Los Angeles. She also became the Chair of the American Foundation for AIDS research.
"As I remember, she made a very big change," said Terry Mullins, Director of undeliverable, a local program provides meals for patients with HIV/AIDS since 1998, Hospice patients since 2003.
Mullins recalled of Taylor and friend, Cox's friends co-star alongside Rock Hudson announced his HIV/AIDS. Hudson died in psoriasis in 1985, to a public face on the disease.
But before he did, Taylor held him publicly, shocking the world.
Hudson died a few months ago, was diagnosed with hemophiliac Ryan White, age 13, he contracted the virus from a blood transfusion. He soon was expelled from school because of his infection.
Taylor fought this fear, excommunication, and even to Congress, asking for additional funding for research.
"It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS," she told Congress, "but no one should die of ignorance."
This helped pressure President Ronald Reagan to speak for more AIDS after years of never say the word.
Her passion for her courage, her physical beauty or talent game, they are what I want to copy.
When the response to the Government proved too slow, Taylor Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, set up in 1993 to support clinics, school health programs, family counseling and research.
"I could no longer take a passive role in anticipation of several people he knew and loved to die a slow and painful death," Taylor said in an interview, with the ability magazine 17 years ago. "It allows me to put money where it is really required, these organizations serving people with HIV/AIDS preventive education or. I will not stop until the captured disease is an abomination. "
This is the woman that I remember. Mullins is, too.
"She was the general acceptance of all of them," said Mullins. "Most of us have problems with it."
So, in addition to Facebook or to speak with remembrances of friends of the woman was married, divorced, more times than I can remember, why do we not do what it does before it got then? Why not to touch someone with HIV/AIDS, to show compassion and we put an end to ignorance?
Mullins said the driver who chooses need to move some of the 114 free, hot, freshly cooked meals program serves five days a week. Some customers also receive a cold lunch to the ebb and flow.
Contributions of time or money on local programs such as moveable feast or AIDS volunteers, Inc. (AVOL) is an excellent tribute to Taylor.
These efforts will help all of us look beautiful as she did, we don't need to dye our hair.
