I think that's Ruta Lee. If you google her name with protest and rally she comes up several times. She is and was quite active in politics. Here's a paragraph from wikipedia: In addition to acting, Lee is also known as a defender of human rights. In 1964, Lee called then Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev asking him to pardon her grandmother, Ludvise Kamandulis. Lee's grandmother had been in an internment camp in Siberia since World War II. The pardon was granted and Lee's grandmother was allowed out of the country to live with Lee in California in 1966, but she died two years later. Lee again rescued a relative from the former Soviet Union when she secured custody of her 18-year old cousin Maryte Kaseta from Lithuania in 1987. Lee has been involved with the charitable organization "The Thalians" for over fifty years.[2] In addition to raising money and providing services for troubled youth and mental health organizations, Lee, who is also the board chairman, has co-produced the annual Ball of the Thalians with Debbie Reynolds for over fifty years.[10] Let me know if you think that's her.
