op stars donated to Sen. Hillary Clinton
By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer 32 minutes ago
If Hollywood has a "DaVinci Code," Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has cracked it.
Top stars such as Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson donated to the New York senator in recent months, generating the kind of cash usually associated with a major box office opening — or a potential presidential bid in 2008.
Clinton, who doesn't face much of a challenge in her re-election, received $4,200 from "The DaVinci Code" star Hanks, the Academy Award-winning actor, and his wife, Rita Wilson.
The itemized donations were made public Wednesday, with the paperwork for April through June more than 4,000 pages. In that period, Clinton raised almost $5.7 million, bringing her total for her re-election effort to $43 million to date. She had more than $22 million cash on hand.
That's more than Owen Wilson's new film "You, Me, and Dupree" made in its opening weekend. Wilson gave Clinton $2,100.
Another contributor was Chris Rock, one of many comedians who made bawdy jokes at the Clintons' expense after the investigation into Bill Clinton's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. Rock gave the senator $2,100.
Singer Bette Midler gave the maximum allowed by law, $4,200, as did actor James Caan.
Other donors included Donald Trump's ex-wife Marla Maples, who gave $2,000, and director Rob Reiner, who gave $3,200.
Billy Crystal donated $4,000, and Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger gave $2,100.

Usual suspects indeed
communists...............
Did somebody turn her little 15 minute hourglass of fame over when nobody was looking?
I thought James Caan was a Bush supporter. Other than that, as the saying goes, same crap - different day.
Nobody I like.
Should have known....the liberal hockey player is of course.... a goalie.
And all of those that wrongly battered McCarthy should be ashamed of themselves...HE WAS RIGHT!! Totally right.
LOL..........;)
It's all about getting work in Hollywood. You're a known republican supporter, you starve to death.
I always had James Caan pegged as someone leaning to the right. I guess he took a wrong (i.e. left) turn somewhere down the road.
I'm sorry, none of these names rings a bell. Exactly what notable good works of service and charity are they known for? Perhaps if you could mention some of their positive accomplishments benefitting humanity, then I might recognize them.
That's okay, they're not doing it on my dime any longer. At least not full price.
I seldom see a movie in the theaters anymore. I tape them in wide screen format off our cable service, or buy them 3 for twenty bucks if I can't.
Yet another unbiased "journalist" weighs in!
Is it me, or is Hillary looking more "Gay" as the years go by?
Yeah....I used to like Bette Midler before I knew her politiks. And now, I guess I don't like Tom Hanks any more EITHER.
Geez...the list is getting longer every day.
Like Drew Carey? He admitted how many times he'd been 'passed over' for movie contracts and such....and all because he's not a rabid leftist.
Talk about blacklisting.
