"King Kong" star and Oscar nominee Naomi Watts of Australia has agreed to serve as special representative for the Joint United Nations Program on AIDS (UNAIDS), it was announced.

The British-born actress will make the formal announcement at UN headquarters Monday at an event attended by UNAIDS deputy executive director Deborah Landey, a UN spokesman said.

The 37-year-old Watts, whose other screen credits include the horror flick "The Ring", "I Heart Huckabees" and David Lynch's acclaimed drama "Mulholland Drive", will use her celebrity status to raise AIDS awareness and champion the needs of AIDS patients worldwide, officials said.
