Yasmine Bleeth: Celebrity Jeopardy
built 218 days ago
Due to her mother's death from inflammatory breast cancer, Yasmine made a decision to become an outspoken advocate of breast cancer research and early detection. She agreed to be a sponsor of the Lee National Denim Day campaign, which raised millions of dollars and which benefits breast cancer research and education. Her primary message to women was to pay attention to their bodies. Her mother was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor who thought that her mother was going through early menopause. Yasmine hoped to use her celebrity status to expand breast cancer awareness, particularly to young women who might overlook what an older woman would not.

In an interesting bit of foreshadowing, Grieco was actually Bleeth's first public celebrity sighting when she arrived in L.A. over eight years ago; she spotted the darkly handsome Mobsters star at a Sunset Strip bar but didn't end up speaking to him until they were paired together in the 1996 indie Heaven or Vegas.
