Actress CHRISTINA RICCI was stunned when she spoke to U.S. politicians as an activist for rape victims – because she never expected her celebrity status would get them to listen.
The 28-year-old became an activist for Tori Amos-founded organisation RAINN (The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) after the sexually-charged marketing campaign for her film Black Snake Moan launched in 2006.
But Ricci admits she was reluctant to speak up, fearing she would just embarrass herself. She says, “When I was invited to speak to members of Congress I was like, ‘Uh, are you sure? I might say something stupid.’ “To me, Washington D.C. always seemed like a place you could never get into. But it’s surprisingly accessible. You can actually talk to the people who govern and write legislation – and they responded.” And Ricci has continued her fight, urging celebrities and civilians to make more of an effort by donating more than their cash. She adds, “In the beginning a lot of my support was just financial – I think it’s important that a certain percentage of everything you make goes to charity, any charity. But you should also give your time – you can pick your corner of the world and give it your time.”
