Celebrities

Celebrities have been a vital and unique part of UNICEF's history since 1953, when celebrated actor Danny Kaye became UNICEF's first Goodwill Ambassador. Since then, celebrities including Audrey Hepburn, Téa Leoni, P!NK, Laurence Fishburne, Alyssa Milano, and Selena Gomez have joined UNICEF to fight for the survival and development of children worldwide.
