SPEAKING OF DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS :

Melanie's Hollywood party invite to Indian street children (Annanova, 9/03/02)

Melanie Griffith says she is planning to invite a group of penniless Indian street children to share her Hollywood home. [...]

Griffith revealed her plans at a glittering charity dinner in the south of France to raise funds for the Foundation and Aids charity Amfar. [...]

Describing her recent trip to Calcutta Griffith said: "It was an overwhelming experience and at one point I had to go in a corner and break down.

"At first I was so depressed. It made me feel like I wanted to give everything I owned away except for what I need to survive.

"That's not very realistic..."

If you're not deeply moved by the compassion and self-sacrifice of this noble woman you've a heart of stone...and, by the way, our Stonehearts Club has a meeting tomorrow at 9:00pm. We're going to show A Stranger Among Us and heckle Ms Griffith. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 4, 2002 12:12 AM
