Ashley Judd Covers 'Redbook' February 2010
Ashley Judd shows off her gorgeous smile on the February 2010 cover of Redbook magazine.
The 41-year-old actress, who’s currently at Harvard pursuing her master’s degree in public administration, sat down with Redbook to speak about activism, advocacy and romance.
On how her work as a global advocate for HIV-infected youth sparked her decision to go back to school: “My hope with the education is to have a finer, more nuanced understanding of the context in which I’m working as an actress and an activist. I really enjoy my life as it is, advocacy and art, moving between the two.”
On staying home alone while her mother and sister toured the country: “One’s life can inform activism in a powerful way. What I grew up with was not so healthy, and I’m now flipping that. I have the ability to make something healthy out of it.”
On her husband, race car driver Dario Franchitti: “He’s shy, he’s very funny, very down-to-earth. Very warm. He likes to play. He’s very bookish, actually, reads far more than I do. He’s very studious about cars. His dad was a club racer, and his grandfather loved cars. There was a natural abililty in him. He started driving when he was 3.”

Incredibly gorgeous. The pooch is cute, too :)

You go mama!
I did not use to be a fan of Ashley’s, but the article in February 2010 Redbook changed all that for me. What an amazing woman. I am happy to see that a woman of my generation is “grabbing the bull by the horns”. I wish that I could resume my education at this time; however, being a full-time is what I choosen. I have heard that Ashley does not want her own biological children and if that’s what she and Dario want so be it. I also would like to commend her on her work with Goody’s, I only wish they had stores in Michigan, but this upcoming April when I expect to be vacationing in the southeast, I’ll be sure to stop in! Ashley, you sound like a great person that I would like to get to know better. Also, I am greatly interested in your charity work. Best of luck to you, Michelle
She’s a shining example for the sad crop of starlets who’ve followed her!
And the little interest in commenting thus far is evidence of the dismal state of culture today!
What a great woman!
She sounds so happy and looks happy. She’s beautiful, and look forward to seeing her new movie tooth fairy. So glad she is coming back to the big screen these days. Go Ash!
she is cute
She is really pretty:)*
pretty and ladylike.
She sucks. All publicity for someone who’s mediocre. Bow Wow.
