Kirk Douglas provides dinner to homeless on Thanksgiving

Actor Kirk Douglas showed his humane side on Thanksgiving by serving dinner to the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.

The 92-year-old star was accompanied by his wife Anne along with hundreds of other volunteers at the Los Angeles Mission.

A day before the official American holiday, they handed out turkey meals to the destitute.

The couple, who founded the mission's Anne Douglas Center, also released a statement.

The center helps homeless women get employment.

"My wife has been trying to help the women who have been forced on to the streets, and she is determined to give them a better life through the Anne Douglas Center where they have programs that improve and rebuild their lives," the Daily Express quoted Douglas as saying in the statement.

He added, "We gladly come to serve men and women at Thanksgiving to give them a good meal and strengthen their desire for a brighter future."
