Since becoming a spokesmodel for Estée Lauder in 1995, British-born actress and model Elizabeth Hurley has been way more than just another pretty face. As an ambassador for The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign and a tireless fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)—Hurley has spent the last twenty years traveling the world every October, raising funds and awareness for the disease. One of her other unofficial duties: to preach pink wherever she goes.
