Elizabeth Taylor became a champion of fund raising for AIDS research when her friend Rock Hudson died of AIDS. She realized that the disease wasn't part of the public conversation, yet it was an epidemic.
She began raising money for AIDS in the 1980s, and became a strong proponent for AIDS research. She knew that she could employ her celebrity status to raise money, plus she came to personify the Jewish notion Tikkun Olam, which dictates that it's possible for a Jewish person to communicate a message and act as a role model.
