HARRISON FORD: UNDERCOVER NICE GUY

This is the type of Good Samaritan item that publicists LOVE to plant about their clients, but in this case it isn’t coming from a publicist so it actually happened! Last year,  avid pilot Harrison Ford heard at the hangar (where he parks his plane in Santa Monica) that one of the ground crew was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Harrison arranged for the guy and his family to visit Hawaii, picking up the tab for the a week long vacation. And when the worker passed, Ford paid for the burial and celebration of life. A source reveals Harrison insisted on keeping his generosity anonymous, but we couldn’t help but share.

FORGET THE DARK KNIGHT, JAMES REMAR IS A REAL HERO

This story restores your faith in actors. A friend of ours was shopping in Pavilions in Hollywood yesterday (a hot day) and noticed “Sex &The City” and “Dexter” actor James Remar ahead of him in the checkout line buying gauze bandages, antiseptic and bottled water. (You might remember Remar as Samantha’s wealthy boyfriend on SATC.) When our source walked outside he saw James kneeling beside a homeless man, gently cleaning off a bleeding cut on his forehead. After he sterilized the cut he wrapped the man’s head in the gauze bandage, gave him water, and advised him to stay in the shade. THAT’S what we consider a true act of kindness. Our source couldn’t resist snapping a photo of the touching scene as he drove away.
