London, November 27 : Actor Kirk Douglas showed the humane side of him on Thanksgiving by serving dinner to the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.

The center helps homeless women get employment.

"My wife has been trying to help the women that have been forced onto 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 time to give them a good meal and strengthen their desire for a brighter future." (ANI)
