More About Hunter Tylo . . . 
Hunter Tylo is not just a celebrity. She is also an activist and fundraiser on behalf of many children’s causes. In 1998, her daughter Katya, who was then four months old, was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer that required the removal of her right eye. Surgery and chemotherapy seemed to do the trick, however, and although the child developed similar tumors in her other eye at one point, they disappeared and she has been cancer free for years. At the time, there was no protocol for eye screenings of infants. As a result of this experience, Hunter Tylo created and helped pass California State Bill AB218, which provides all infants in California with pupil dilation for detection of preventable forms of blindness and fatal diseases.

Hunter Tylo also won a landmark case for pregnancy discrimination. She successfully sued producer Aaron Spelling for firing her from Melrose Place after he learned she was pregnant. The trial served as the basis for forming her non-profit corporation, Hunter’s Chosen Child, an organization that provides financial, educational and emotional support to young and low income parents.
