Bianca Jagger.
Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías grew up in a humble home with a humble income, in Manague, Nicaragua. Though there were rough times throughout her childhood, Bianca became an excellent pupil, receiving a scholarship to study political science in France, a country filled with art and life.
By the late 60s and through the 70s, Bianca was perhaps most widely known for her jet-setting lifestyle and her entrepreneurial in the entertainment world. She became the cliche to a 70s social society, a fashion model, and occasional actress, as well as a fashion icon through her well-seen image at fashion parties and other social events. On May 12th, 1971, Bianca married Mick Jagger in Saint-Tropez France. The wedding day caused quite a stir with paparazzi, as Mr. and Mrs. Jagger could barely walk across to the chapel and then to their limousine through the crowd of rather rude photographers and rambunctiously overjoyed onlookers. Though they later divorced, Bianca kept her last name, possibly because she was well known as Bianca Jagger, but she had once said about her marriage, "My marriage ended on my wedding day".
But to this day, there is another side of Bianca which impressed the public beyond her huge flower-embroidered hats and designer crotchet, knit dresses. An earthquake has struck Bianca's home country, killing more than 10,000 people, Bianca had visited the victims. She became shocked with the oppression which the Somoza regime had committed to the civilians there. From here on, it is said, Bianca became a human rights activist, collaborating with many organizations including; Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, People For The American Way, and the Coalition For International Justice, just to name a few. In 2003, Bianca was nominated to be the Council of Europe Goodwill Ambassador. Since then, she was also elected the Chair of the World Future Council. Most recently, in January 2009, she addressed a group of about 60,000 protesters in a march and rally outside of the Israeli Embassy.
