As it’s been revealed, Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker, fashion goddess and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, actors Forest Whitaker and Edward Norton became members of Mr. Obama’s Committee on Arts and the Humanities.
The panel that’s chaired by First Lady Michelle Obama and co-chaired by film producer George Stevens Jr and theatre producer Margo Lion (Hairspray) is set to focus on education, cultural diplomacy and economic development through the arts and humanities.
The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it,” Michelle Obama said in her statement.
The committee that consists of 25 panel members also includes cellist Yo-yo Ma, philanthropist Teresa Heinz, architect Thom Moore, ballet dancer Damian Woetzel, actresses Kerry Washington (The Last King of Scotland) and Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives).
