Actress and avid humanitarian Mia Farrow has ended a 12-day hunger strike in support of embattled nation Darfur.

"I had hoped to go 16 days, because...there are 16 humanitarian agencies expelled from Darfur."

Eccentric billionaire Richard Branson stepped up to take over for Farrow, who will go three days with no food and will then be relieved by another activist.
