Friendship was a major factor in our changes to survive, and after we managed to rescue ourselves, we made our friendship with each other a priority in our lives.
Sometimes, I ask myself why people need to experience extreme situations to understand the real values of life. On television, she has worked in numerous renowned series such as Diagnosis Murder (1993), Touched by an Angel (1994), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000) and Cold Case (2003) and has appeared in more than one hundred national TV commercials.

BornAugust 24, 1971
Before the crash, my mind was filled with my studies in business administration, but as soon as I came back, I found that I had to exchange my studies for everyday work in our family business that had nearly been destroyed since my mother did half the work.
When you are young, you feel immortal.
It was better than freezing at the top. I have been able to make decisions quite easily in many aspects of life and work because of something that happened in those mountains.
When I was at the top of an 18,000-foot peak with Roberto Canessa, looking at the vast scenery of snowy peaks surrounding us, we knew we were going to die.
There is absolutely no way out.
We then decided how we would die: we would walk towards the sun and the west.
Our desire to feel secure in a family, and our need to feel and give the love of a family were the only things that kept us going.
So now, after having experienced a human situation where our physical and mental limits were constantly exceeded, I have come to understand that FAMILY is what made us survive.
Our lives honor this. This realization has not taken away from my work or “success” in life. I am the CEO of three companies, but there is no business meeting or commercial activity that I would not exchange for the moments of happiness I have with Veronique and my children.
I have learned that moments do not repeat themselves, but the next time, I am dying I know what I will remember: my affections and love, not my businesses, cars, contracts, bank loans, earnings, emails and airports.
The Andes experience also influenced my CONFIDENCE.
Making decisions became easier because I knew that the worst thing that could happen would be that I was simply wrong. There are some things — FAMILY, CONFIDENCE and FRIENDSHIP — that I have thought deeply about over the years, and my thoughts were influenced by the Andes experience. The warmth of my daughters’ embrace at night when I put them to bed or the quiet presence of my wife, Veronique, near me — moments that will not be repeated — these are the important, enduring values.
.
You are born, and you will die someday.This decision took us less than thirty seconds. These values are so clear and near to us, yet we rush by them looking for the “important” things. A trained singer and dancer, Keats quickly established herself as a familiar face on television, appearing in numerous commercials and starring as Anny in Fox's teen soap-opera Tribes (1990).
More film roles followed, including There Goes My Baby (1994), Garry Marshall's Frankie and Johnny (1991) (opposite Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer), the Disney musical Newsies (1992) (opposite Christian Bale and Robert Duvall) and Frank Marshall's acclaimed drama Alive (1993) (opposite Ethan Hawke and Vincent Spano).
I am sure it is the same for the other survivors.
During the seventy-two days we spent in the mountains, there was absolutely nothing to which we could attach ourselves. There was no future, no hope. I am extremely happy just to be able to put my daughters to bed every night. Compared to what I had gone through, that was nothing.
Finally, I have come to understand the value of friendship.
It was deeply moving to see young boys helping their friends in ways they could not have imagined, even risking and giving their lives for each other.
Recognized as "the essence of health, talent and sincerity", Ele Keats has worked with some of the most acclaimed artists in Hollywood since her acting debut at fifteen, in the famous Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial.
Born in Paris to copywriter Sacha Georgescu and Ford model Jan McGuire, Keats was raised in New York City and Germany before relocating to Los Angeles at twelve, where she pursued her model and acting career.
There is nothing that can modify or destroy you. Studies, work, and material things suddenly had no value.
Everyone knew of the need for family affection.
