Elizabeth Taylor passes away at age 79 today. Of course, Taylor was a Hollywood Icon and award winning actress. But, she also was a major player in getting Aids/HIV into the mainstream as a serious problem that needed to be dealt with.

Taylor Was Early and Tireless AIDS/HIV Advocate

Exert from article:

In 1985, when the government had done little to educate people about the disease and nurses were afraid to deliver food trays to AIDS patients in hospitals, Taylor, along with a group of physicians, helped establish the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).

Check out the whole article. I wasn't aware that she did so much.
