Yesterday, the actress was honored by her alma mater, Plymouth State University, for her volunteer work in raising awareness about the plight of the orphans.
She learned more about the 15 million children left orphaned by AIDS and concluded it seemed nonsensical to think she could do nothing. Edgar met a group working to put together a small, self-sustaining eco-village for orphans and their caretakers and created a charity called "Make a Change" to raise money and awareness for the village. She has appeared in the films "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer.
