built 229 days ago
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.

In recounting her childhood, Judd, 38, describes herself as a "hyper-vigilant child" who attempted to behave perfectly in order to compensate for her lack of security. She went to 13 schools in 12 years and shifted from living with her mother, her father and her grandparents.

Judd didn't turn up again until 2004's Twisted, a crime thriller about a female homicide detective who finds herself at the center of a series of murders. That same year, she starred alongside Kevin Kline in the critically acclaimed De-Lovely, a musical biography of Cole Porter. She then laid low until a project by a truly legendary filmmaker came her way. William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist, cast her in the leading role in his 2007 psychological horror film Bug. A gritty, pared down thriller with a five person cast, Judd handled the disturbing project like a pro. Ready for something more grounded in reality, the actress next chose a project that dealt with issues ripped straight from the headlines, signing on to appear in Crossing Over, a film about immigrants struggling to obtain legal citizenship in the US. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

This is the Judd the world knows —gorgeous, happy and the picture of Southern hospitality. But there's another woman behind that flawless smile —one who's spent years battling depression, isolating herself from her friends and keeping her anguish hidden from everyone she knew. "I needed help," says Judd. "I was in so much pain."

In an interview last year, Judd told the newspaper that she would probably take a correspondence course to finish the one class necessary to get a degree. When she left in 1990, online and correspondence courses weren't allowed to count toward graduation.
