Octavia Spencer Buys Out Movie Theater For Low-Income Families To Watch ‘Hidden Figures’

(via biography.com)

“I've bought the 8pm showing of #hiddenfigures the rave Baldwin hills. If you know a family in need that would like to see our movie but can't afford it have them come. Its first come first served. My mom would not have been able to afford to take me and my siblings. So, I'm honoring her and all single parents this #mlkweekend Pass the word”, Octavia Spencer Instagramed.

She purchased every ticket for a Hidden Figures showing in Los Angeles for single parents and those who may not have had the funds to view the movie on their own.


Spencer’s gesture was pretty cool and it showed how down-to-earth she is. So many celebrities get hold of money and fame and completely forget where they came from. To say, “My mom would not have been able to afford to take me and my siblings”, is a real truth for many. Spencer’s display of humility and compassion is definitely honorable.


Hidden Figures is currently in theaters, definitely go see this movie if you can.
