"Tough girls come from New York. Sweet girls, they're from Georgia. But us Kentucky girls, we have fire and ice in our blood. We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin'. And if we have an opinion, you know you're gonna hear it." -ashley judd
Ashley Judd (born Ashley Tyler Ciminella on April 19, 1968) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her leading roles in a series of late 1990s and early 2000s thrillers, including Kiss the Girls, Double Jeopardy and High Crimes.
Growing up in Kentucky, Ashley Judd's family was dirt-poor without the comforts of electricity, running water, or a telephone. While mom Naomi and sister Wynonna sang on the front porch, Ashley generally engrossed herself in her books, pretending to be various characters.
Judd studied French at the University of Kentucky, where she graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1990. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, she marched straight into an agency and came out signed.

Quotes
"I was always told I was special. And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose.""You have so much power to bring awareness, prevention and change."
"I know what $20 can do, what $600 can do, what $1 million can do, so I've radically altered my own spending - I will stay at the airport hotel rather than the $350-a-night one, and then I'll take the extra money and invest it to accrue interest, so I can later donate it."
