Hunter Tylo is not just a celebrity, however. She is also a dedicated activist and fundraiser on behalf of children’s causes. Hunter's fourth child Katya was born with a deadly eye cancer, retinoblastoma, that went undetected until she was three months old because there was no protocol for eye screenings of infants. As a result of this experience, she created and helped pass California State Bill AB218, which provides all infants in California with pupil dilation screenings for detection of preventable forms of blindness and fatal diseases. Tylo also won a landmark case for pregnancy discrimination after she was fired from "Melrose Place" when her pregnancy was discovered. 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.
