About Hunter Tylo
. . .
Hunter Tylo, a supermodel in the seventies and eighties,
has graced the covers of over 200 magazines worldwide. In
addition to her ongoing roles in the soap operas "All
My Children" and "The Bold and The Beautiful,"
she has had roles on numerous other TV programs including
a guest appearance on "The Nanny" in which she
played herself.
Hunter
Tylo is not just a celebrity, however. She is also an activist
and fundraiser on behalf of many children’s causes.
Hunter's fourth child Katya was born with a deadly
eye cancer, retinoblastoma, that went until she was three
months old because there was no protocol for eye screenings
of infants. As a result of this experience, Hunter
Tylo created and helped pass California State Bill AB218,
which provides all infants in California with pupil dilation
for detection of preventable forms of blindness and fatal
diseases.
Hunter also won a landmark case for pregnancy discrimination.
She successfully sued Aaron Spelling for firing her from
"Melrose Place" after he learned she was pregnant.
The trial served as the basis for forming her non-profit
corporation, Hunter’s Chosen Child, an
organization that provides financial, educational and emotional
support to young and low income parents. |
