Ashley Judd, Harvard Graduate Student

By Alfred Brophy

ADVERTISEMENTS

Ashley-judd2 I told myself that I was going on a blogging diet -- no more posting (other than posts that are already written -- like my series on probate in the old South) until I get dug out from the pile of work that's crushing me (or at least get my Pastorius paper finished).  But ... this news is too good to pass up.

The Harvard Crimson, which has brought us much depressing news of late, like the closing of the beloved HUP display room, now reports that movie star Ashley Judd is enrolled at the Kennedy School in their mid-career MPA program.

According the Crimson story:

Judd, born in Los Angeles in 1968, held key roles in "Heat," "Double Jeopardy," and "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." She is also an active humanitarian, having served on the board of directors for healthcare nonprofit Population Services International since 2004. She was also Global Ambassador for YouthAIDS, the organization's HIV education and prevention program, and has traveled to a number of developing countries, including Thailand, Madagascar, and Rwanda.

Judd has spoken before the General Assembly of the United Nations about human trafficking, and VH1, The National Geographic Channel, and The Discovery Channel have aired documentaries highlighting her humanitarian activities.
