Actress Mackenzie Phillips has joined
the NOH8 Campaign, the silent protest which raises awareness and
funds for gay rights causes, including ending California's 2008
voter-approved gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
The 52-year-old Phillips is best known
for playing Julie Cooper Horvath opposite Bonnie Franklin and Valerie
Bertinelli in the long-running CBS situation comedy One Day at a
Time. She also played Carol Morrison in writer-director George
Lucas' 1973 coming of age film American Graffiti. In 2010,
Phillips went public with her lifetime struggle with drug abuse
during a guest spot on VH1's Celebrity
Rehab with Dr. Drew.
The NOH8 Campaign is helmed by
photographer-activist Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley. The
pair photograph celebrities and everyday folks with their mouths duct
taped and the campaign's familiar “NOH8” slogan often written on
one cheek.
In
her photograph, Phillips is wearing an unbuttoned white shirt –
revealing a white tank top underneath – while holding her hands up
in the air.
The campaign has also recently been
joined by actress Shay
Mitchell – who plays a gay teen on ABC
Family's Pretty Little Liars
– Hole frontwoman Courtney Love, country music singer LeAnn
Rimes, actress-singer Miley
Cyrus and actress Lindsay
Lohan.
