Living a
Kinder Life
By Rhonda Price
It
was a clear, lovely day in the Hollywood
Hills with hints of spring in the air when
we spent a day with actress and author
Alicia Silverstone for a photo shoot for
Extraordinary Health™ Magazine. Our
photographer, makeup artists and lighting
crew were eager to get through the first
scheduled shots of Alicia chopping veggies
in the kitchen so they could all move
outdoors and revel in the sunshine. Even
the caterer seemed smitten by spring fever
when he arrived and decided to set up a
poolside vegan buffet for lunch.
Looking radiant and youthful in a
lacy white sundress, it suddenly didn’t
seem that long ago since her film debut
in 1994’s The Crush and her beloved hit
Clueless in 1995 that instantly placed her
on Hollywood’s A-list. Unlike some child
and teen stars who quickly burn out, Alicia
weathered the potential pitfalls of a fastpaced LA scene as she starred in 22 feature
films, 4 television movies, 10 television
series, while her #1 New York Times
bestseller—The Kind Diet—skyrocketed to
fame in 2009, a compilation of insights
that led her to a healthy lifestyle. The Kind
Diet built on Silverstone’s reputation as an
environmentalist and health advocate.
