Actress Mia Farrow, To Hunger Strike

Humanitarian actress Mia Farrow, 64, is planning to do hunger strike next week as protest against the genocide at Darfur, Sudan.

Mia Farrow was agitated to begin a hunger strike after the government of Sudan expelled international aid agencies from the country last month.

"On April 27 I will begin a fast of water only in solidarity with the people of Darfur and as a personal expression of outrage at a world that is somehow able to stand by and watch innocent men, women and children needlessly die of starvation, thirst and disease," says the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in a statement.

While the spokeman for Mia Farrow says that she will stick with her hunger strike as long as possible, the actress' doctors estimate a maximum of around three weeks for Mia Farrow to withstand the ordeal, given the aging actress' slim build.

Mia Farrow has appeared in more than forty films and won numerous awards as an actress. She is also a singer and former fashion model. As a human rights activist, she is one of Hollywood's most active Cause Celebs pushing their favorite charities and causes.
