Popular actress talks about
her career
and the Rotavirus disease that affects kids
Born in Philadelphia
and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 10,
actress and mother Holly Robinson Peete
is best known for playing undercover cop
Judy Hoffs in the hit 80's series 21 Jump
Street. She has also appeared in various
sitcoms, including Hangin' With Mr. Cooper,
Love Inc., and For Your Love.
In this 2006
interview with Sidewalks host Cindy
Rhodes, Holly is joined by Dr. Susan Rehm,
a staff physician in the Department of
Infectious Disease at the Cleveland Clinic. The
ladies talk about the rotavirus
disease, the most common cause of severe
diarrhea among children, resulting in the
hospitalization of approximately 55,000 children
each year in the U.S. and the death of over
600,000 children annually worldwide. In addition
to the health awareness, Holly takes a moment to
talk about her one-time 21 Jump Street
co-star Johnny Depp; her foundation
HollyRod with her husband, former NFL
quarterback Rodney Peete; and her book
“Get Your Own Damn Beer, I’m Watching the Game:
A Women’s Guide to Loving Pro Football.”
