Kirk Douglas and others serve Thanksgiving eve meals to 3000+ at Los Angeles Mission

Happy Thanksgiving, DU...



:toast:



LOS ANGELES - "Spartacus" star Kirk Douglas, who turns 90 next month, joined volunteers on Thanksgiving eve to dish up turkey feasts to thousands of street denizens outside the Los Angeles Mission.

Tony Danza, Minnie Driver, Kevin Nealon, Sally Kirkland, Jason Ritter, Judy Tenuta and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa were among those on hand Wednesday to help Douglas and his wife, Anne, deliver holiday cheer to the homeless and the less fortunate.

"I'm in the position of such fortune in my life, and as far as I can see, it's not very many steps away from being homeless," Driver said as she helped dish out food.

Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls and pumpkin pie were on the menu for the four-hour 5th Street event held in the heart of downtown's Skid Row. More than 3,000 people were expected to be served.

1. Anytime a 90 year old is still able to contribute, that's worth celebrating.
Even though the 5th Street event would get along just fine without the celebrity power, I applaud all who lent a hand. :toast:
