Actor Zach Galifianakis’s sweet act of kindness for a homeless woman captured the hearts of fans, despite him attempting to keep it out of the limelight.
The Hangover star, 54, quietly paid for a formerly homeless woman’s rent for 27 years after the pair became friends when he was an aspiring actor.
Marie ‘Mimi’ Haist had been living in a laundromat in Santa Monica, California, for 20 years when she met Zach while he was trying to make it in Hollywood.
Things hadn’t always been this way for Mimi, who was born and raised in Los Angeles. She had previously been married with two children, but lost her home after divorcing her husband when he was unfaithful to her.
