CDAN – This C list movie and television actress (born in Canada) has a movie world record all to herself. She is also married to an Oscar nominee/winner writer. Anyway, our actress, who has children was at her children’s doctor when she started talking to a woman who had three kids of her own, one of which had bone cancer. The woman didn’t have insurance and was having a tough time paying the doctor bills. Long story short. Our actress hosted a fundraiser with her husband and raised $100,000 to pay for all the medical bills for the child and to give the family a much needed vacation.
Sandra Oh is married to Alexander Payne, who shared an Oscar with Jim Taylor for “Sideways” in 1994.
Sandra Oh FTW.
I believe Sandra and Alexander were divorced quite a while back.
I havent the slightest idea…but dang this is soooooo sweet!!!
stars do things without recieving publicity??? you go girl!
That was a good gesture.
Don’t know who this could be but I think that she is FANTASTIC.
I agree with this guess. I’m glad they had money left over for a vacation. I know those bills have to be through the roof.
What the heck happened to the guess I was responding to? It was Rachel Roberts and it disappeared.
Wow, just looked her up. It definitely all fits! How in the world did you come up with this guess? I’m impressed.
Sandra Oh would be perfect but she’s divorced from Alexander Payne…
Jennifer Garner
she’s from Texas
She’s from West Virginia.
I like Sandra Oh as a guess. However, I would think she would be more B-list than C-list.
Frances McDormand / Joel Coen
It’s Rachel Roberts – Canadian-born, holds the record for most screen-time given to an uncredited actress (for Simone). But her husband did not win the Oscar, he was only nominated.
McDormand is American-born and Sandra Oh is divorced.
Ah, yes, this sounds good. Catiebug, You are great! I was thinking it would probably be someone from a bit older, as I coulnd’t think of any recent actress world records. (Except for Kate Winslet and Oscar. Her being a Brit, I had nothing.) This surely must be it.
Catiebug, either I’m psychic and knew you would post this guess or your post somehow got deleted from up there where I responded to it. I believe you got this one 100% correct though.
AA, I think the site is having problems again! I knew it was Rachel Roberts, but I didn’t see YOUR posts further up until after I put mine up! Crazy.
