Alec Baldwin Will Pay For A Soldier's Education

Movie star Alec Baldwin has chosen to put an American soldier through college.

On March 4 the 48-year-old actor read an article in The New York Times about Resha Kane, a private in the U.S. army who is going to go to Iraq in September.

He then decided to find Kane and offer to pay for her education. He was finally able to locate her mother at a store in Phoenix, Arizona.

At first nobody in the family could believe it was the famous actor. Finally, Baldwin was able to convince them that it was really him. He agreed to give them the money when Resha leaves the army.
