More than 80 entertainers and political figures including Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Mayor Gavin Newsom, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pine, Jessica Biel, Natalie Portman, Bradley Cooper, Lance Bass, Dave Matthews, Jared Leto and Charlie Sheen have contributed signatures and/or enhancements to a set of “Defend Equality – Love Unites” original prints with a design by Shepard Fairey which became well-known during California’s campaign against Proposition 8. The image below was enhanced by Virginia Madsen.
The project (undertaken in partnership with entertainment networking group HOMOtracker and its annual fundraiser ‘FallOut’) will go up for auction on November 10 on the website Charity Buzz and will benefit the grassroots marriage equality group FAIR. The group is also holding an event in West Hollywood on November 12 at which the prints will be on display.

I hope you will pass along the following to Ms Madsen: I greatly admire both your talent and your beauty (internal and external), and thank you for your dedication to equality and kindness. There’s so much wrong in the world today, I am so grateful that you are doing your share to help make it a better place. This was my first visit to your website and think it’s lovely. I wish you well in all your endeavors and as always look forward to seeing you on the screen again. Keep up the great work! (Incidentally, I’ve always thought you would be wonderful as Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream).
Sincerely,
Jim
