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.

  7. Good 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.

  11. This 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.
