Nancy Cartwright gave $10 million to Scientology
The voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright, gave $10 million to the Church of Scientology last year -- nearly twice what she earned for her voiceover work on The Simpsons ($5.5 million). Cartwright's money was earmarked for "Global Salvage" which Page Six describes as the Church's efforts to "rid mankind of psychology ills and other aberrant behavior". The donation -- twice the amount Tom Cruise gave -- was enough to earn Cartwright the "Patron Laureate Award" at a black-tie awards ceremony last summer. Other celebs honored include:
- Kirstie Alley, Diamond Meritorious Award: $5 million.
- John Travolta, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
- Kelly Preston, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
- Priscilla Presley, Patron Award: $50,000.
Sources within the Church told me today that Kirstie Alley's entire $5 million donation was used to buy aluminum foil to make "cool hats" impenetrable to government mind-reading tools.
