Hamer Mills

The host of the program "Themes" Andrey Sharry: the man of the day of Radio Liberty June 11 is the former British fashion model Haer Mills. On Tuesday, her wedding with Paul McCartney, one of the founders of the famous Beatles group, took place. The wedding ceremony was held in the church of a small Irish village of Glasonof, and the wedding itself in the same Lesley Castle. Hezer Mills 34 years old, she was born in Washington in a dysfunctional family, moved to London in the early 80s, and at the age of 18 she organized her own modeling agency. In the past, one of the most famous fashion models of Great Britain, but, unfortunately, she was forced to complete her fashion modeling maneuke in 1993 after the loss as a result of the car's left leg. He collects funds to help the victims of the war in the Balkans, where she worked as a ski instructor before the war. It is acting on the prohibition of anti -personnel mines, founded by the medical center for the installation of prostheses. For active charitable activities, many international awards were awarded. I met my future husband three years ago. Our correspondent in London Natalya Golitsyna is represented by the person of Radio Liberty Day:

Natalya Golitsyna: Life and Fate Hamer Mills resembles a bizarre and fantastic mixture of Cinderella stories, Marmeladova Sonya from Crime and Punishment and Princess Diana. Knowing all the vicissitudes of her adventurous and tragic life, which threw her in his youth at the very bottom of society, it is difficult not to marvel at the stamina and courage of this woman, who at the age of 13 fled from home, wandered, spent months under the Waterloo bridge in London, drank, stole, and at the age of 28 was nominated for the Nobel premium of the world.

The Civil War in Yugoslavia turned her whole life. Ten years ago, fate abandoned her in Slovenia, where she worked as a ski instructor. There she witnessed the cruelty of war and human suffering. Returning to England, she founded a center for Yugoslav refugees in London. The former fashion model, who showed swimwear and underwear, began the international fundraising campaign in favor of the victims of the Yugoslav tragedy. But his own tragedy (in August of the 93rd, after she was shot down by a police motorcycle, she was amputated with her left leg below her knee) did not interrupt her charity activity. It was this activity that attracted Paul McCartney, who became her closest friend. And soon this never to be discouraged, completely untreated and rare courage, a woman picked up the baton of the deceased Princess Diana, heading the campaign to prohibit the use of anti -personnel mines. In addition, she founded the center for the manufacture of prostheses for victims of military conflicts around the world.

Nevertheless, the fate of Hamer Mills is most like a fairy tale with a happy ending: the unpredictability of character and iron will led her, finally, to family happiness.
