This is a B lister. I almost think of our actress as the epitome of a B lister. She has done television and films and is probably more of a B lister for the television, but she does have some great film roles. Anyway, this week at Sundance. Oh, I guess that will narrow it down some huh? At Sundance this week, our actress was walking down the street and spotted a teenage girl who was sitting on a backpack, shivering and didn't have anything on but a sweater and jeans even though it was after dark and well below freezing. Turns out the girl had come out to Park City to hang out with a guy she barely knew but he blew her off for some other girl, so she had no room and no place to stay and didn't have the money to change her return airline ticket which was for three days in the future. Our actress didn't really believe the girl at first but then the girl showed her the airline ticket and her i.d. That was enough for our actress. She took the girl to a store and bought her a jacket, and then took her back to her hotel for food and fun. The actress called some friends over to cheer the girl up, got her some dinner and then had everyone take turns calling the jerk who traded her for another girl. Our actress changed the return date on the ticket, paying for the change and even upgraded the girl to first class for the flight home. She let the girl spend the night, got her out to the airport the next morning and gave her a few hundred bucks.

I love it. I wish I knew who it was. She deserves to be A list!

What a really wonderful thing to do. These other people can learn from her.

I checked through WireImage's list of who was at Sundance and the name that popped out at me was Maria Bello. She's been in several TV shows (including ER) and was nominated for a Critic's Choice Award for "A History of Violence".

^That's who popped out at me too or Sandra Oh who is still on tv and has done some great movies, Sideways & For Your Consideration. You also have Marcia Gae Harden and Emily Blunt. This could also be Sarah Jessica Parker.

I have no idea who it was, but that was a cool thing to do!

**Dixie Normos** · January 21st, 2008, 05:46 PM

Falicity Huffman was there too, and Amy Adams.

Whoever this was should not be a BI. More celebrities could learn to retrieve their human side from this woman.

**LynnieD** · January 21st, 2008, 06:37 PM

Ooooo.....I like the Felicity Huffman guess. She has had some AWESOME film roles. I bet it was her. I knew I always liked her for a reason.

I agree! THis shouldn't be a blind, whoever this is deserves credit.

Sandra Oh.

**Sm0kah0ntas** · January 21st, 2008, 07:38 PM

Why is this a blind item?

I'm with you. It could be any of the guesses so far, and I don't think this should be a blind item. On the other hand if it was written about, people would probably think the actress only did it for recognition.

What a nice thing to do! Whoever it is, I really like her

**sparkly** · January 21st, 2008, 08:01 PM

As soon as I read this, I immediately thought of Katherine Heigl. She may have a large ego, but I think this is her style, or how she would handle a situation like this.
