Blind Item #12 - Kindness
I will tell you upfront that this person is one of my favorite people in the world so I am a little biased when it comes to this kindness blind. Just because she is one of my favorite people does not mean I have seen every installment of the franchise she was in. I guess she is a B- list actress. She is better than the franchise. If you watched that hit cable show in its last season, she rocked a guest starring role. Anyway. This is about a movie she did with another actress from that cable show. One of the actors in the movie has cancer. The actor did not have enough credits or income to get the good SAG/AFTRA insurance so our actress called in a bunch of favors and got the guy cast in ten projects over the course of about three weeks so he could qualify for the best level of insurance. A small thing, but very nice.
Bai Ling? Enty's bestie besides Lisa Loeb.
ReplyDeleteShe's now one of my favorite people, too.
ReplyDeleteNo clue but that was very sweet.
ReplyDeleteHeather Graham/californication- role in 2014(series ended)
ReplyDeleteFranchise- hangover
Costar who helped maybe Natasha Mckohone
Cancer survivor- Evan Handler.
I knew Evan back in NYC theatr days(he has been fighting and winning battle for many years with cancer:) Heather was involved as well with the theatre group Naked Angels as well..so they were likely friends before .Makes me really ,really respect her:)
ReplyDeleteI read as actor from show though not movie..my bad.
ReplyDeleteGood karma to this person! SAG/AFTRA should be ashamed. Before the two unions merged, I had SAG insurance. After, their health care system went to shit. It's been 3 years and still no improvement. This guy is lucky to know someone with connections & a soul. A rare find in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteidk who it is but that lady deserve respect for what she did and i hope it will inspire others.
ReplyDeletewe live in such a inhuman world and then you see stuff like that...fuck yeah, we found a real human being with a conscience *virtual high five*
Elizabeth Reaser.
ReplyDeletePlayed Esme in Twilight.
Played the waitress Don Draper had an affair with in the final season of Mad Men
Starred in the film One and Two with Kiernan Shipka who played Sally Draper on Mad Men.
it's not a small gesture Enty..& you're not being biased---this is an awesome kindness!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was my guess too - I don't know much about Elizabeth Reaser but really like her if this is about her. Good hearted people in Hollywood are too few and far between.
