21. She isn't just an actor

She is a progressive activist who has supported many progressive causes. She has worked extensively with refugees and was a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN.
She is a smart, beautiful progressive woman with some flaws but I wouldn’t discount her out of the gate. She brings a lot to the table and just because her day job is in entertainment, doesn’t mean she isn’t worth listening to.
