Denzel Washington article, below this photo essay.
Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center (BAMC), in San Antonio, TX. BAMC is especially noted for accommodating burn victims.
BAMC has buildings called Fisher Houses. A Fisher House is a hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but they are almost completely filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, the staff gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. Washington asked how much a Fisher House costs to build. When they told him, he took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.
| About Denzel Washington By Cathy Richey, the Cathy Factor
Unfortunately, when Washington was 14, his folks' marriage took a turn for the worse, and he and his older sister were sent away to boarding school so that they would not be exposed to their parents' divorce. Denzel Washington won an Oscar as best actor for his role as a rogue cop in the 2001 film Training Day. It was his second Academy Award; he also won in 1989 as best supporting actor for the Civil War film Glory. Washington got his early break on TV, playing Dr. Phillip Chandler in the television drama St. Elsewhere (1982-88). He received critical praise for his role in the movie A Soldier's Story (1984), and was nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for Cry Freedom (1987). Washington worked steadily throughout the 1990s in big-budget thrillers, comedies and dramas, including Philadelphia (1993, with Tom Hanks), Crimson Tide (1995, opposite Gene Hackman) and The Preacher's Wife (1996, with Whitney Houston). His portrayal of boxer Ruben Carter earned him another Oscar nomination for the movie The Hurricane (1999). A solid leading man, Washington has appeared in dozens of films, including Antwone Fisher (2002), The Manchurian Candidate (2004, co-starring Meryl Streep), Spike Lee's Inside Man (2006), Ridley Scott's American Gangster (2007) and The Book of Eli (2010). On May 18, 1991, Washington was awarded an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, Fordham University, for having "impressively succeeded in exploring the edge of his multifaceted talent". In 2011 he donated $2 million to Fordham for an endowed chair of the theatre department, as well as $250,000 for a theatre-specific scholarship to Fordham. He also was awarded an honorary doctorate of humanities from Morehouse College on May 20, 2007. Washington married Pauletta Pearson on June 25, 1983. He met her on the set of his first screen work, the television film Wilma. The couple have four children: John David (b. July 28, 1984), who signed a football contract with the St. Louis Rams in May 2006 and is currently playing with the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League (John David also played college football at Morehouse); Katia (b. November 27, 1987), who graduated from Yale University with a Bachelors of Arts in 2010; and twins Olivia and Malcolm (b. April 10, 1991) (Malcolm attends the University of Pennsylvania). In 1995, the couple renewed their wedding vows in South Africa with Archbishop Desmond Tutu officiating. Denzel Washington Facts:
