Angelina Jolie in a 2013 op eds tin the
New York Times that was titled my
medical choice Angelina Jolie made a
startling revelation that she had
recently gone through a double
mastectomy I didn’t expect there to be
so much support and I was very moved by
it it’s connected me so much to other
families other women so it’s been a
really beautiful journey

a certain gene that predisposed her to
breast cancer and how her double
mastectomy drastically reduced those
chances after Jolie wrote the column the
number of women having mastectomies went
up which has been credited by
researchers as the Angelina effect I’ve
been very happy just to see the
discussion about women’s health it’s
been
number three Michael J Fox with hits
like family ties in the Back to the
Future film series the 1980s were a good
time for Michael J Fox unfortunately his
career took a devastating turn when the
actor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in
1991 when I when I went publicly that I
had some real misgivings I didn’t know
whether that something I really wanted
to do and then once I did the genie was
out of the bottle and then and I had
this feeling of kind of desperation like
oh my god what did I do
concerned with what news of the
diagnosis would do for his acting
prospects Fox kept the news to himself
and took on lesser roles as the 90s went
on I want to see one of your movies and
I was talking you probably wouldn’t like
it any surprising where you can see one
of my movies 1985 if I saw one of your
movies in 1985 you wouldn’t like it if I
was talking seven years later Fox
finally shared the news with the rest of

illegitimate child with their longtime
housekeeper but she had actually come to
you about the affair and the possibility
of a child many years before correct
mm-hmm
why did she admit to it then well it
just did not know how to I was just I
think too scared about losing everything
losing her losing the family prior to is
confession Schwarzenegger and his maid
were able to keep both their
extramarital affair and the child that
resulted under wraps for more than a
what could be the most impressive aspect
about the secret is that the child looks
just like Arnold which surprisingly
didn’t raise any red flags earlier

65 years old Caitlyn Jenner had been
keeping it a secret to herself that she
was transgender during a high-profile
2015 interview Jenner stated she
identified as female and revealed other
details to Diane Sawyer but my heart and
my soul and everything that I do in life
it is part of me that female side is
part of me that’s who I am the Olympic
gold medalist told Sawyer that she had
first explored her femininity by wearing
women’s clothes when she was a child and
had used female hormones for five years
in the 1980s Jenner also shared that the
experience of being transgender brought
her to the point of thinking about
committing suicide but fortunately she

story ends so let me start with the same
peaceful peace and my soul all of that
