Denzel Washington and the Fisher House

A caller told the story of Denzel Washington touring a Fisher House facility and his writing a one million dollar check on the spot. This led to an appreciative conversation about Denzel Washington. Problem: The story isn't quite true. Mr. Washington DID donate money to the Fisher House cause, and is considered a generous contributor, but the million dollar figure comes from an announcement after his visit that was mistakenly thought to apply to Mr. Washington and has become an urban legend.

The good news is that Washington did donate and he is a heck of a good actor.
