Cute story. I bet he’s a perfect gentleman and has a night to remember the rest of his life. It’s nice of Mila to do this for one of our vets. It reminds me of the Hollywood Canteen during WWII. Staffed by volunteers that included actresses. Soldiers on R & R could stop for a drink and dance.
I’m actually betting that the Marine Corp public relations people are going to make sure thats a well shaperoned date. Still, score one for the leathernecks and kudos to the young woman.
I wonder if the Marine or Mila considered the work required to pull this off? Some event planners will have to add some security to the event, figure out Mila’s schedule etc. It’s not just a matter of picking her up in a nice car and saying “hi”.
It is all for a good cause. Not just for this one Marine. It’ll be a morale boost and good PR for the military in general.
I mentioned the WWII Hollywood Canteen in the OP. What a wonderful idea, all staffed and paid for by volunteers in the Motion Picture Industry. The price of admission for any soldier was his uniform. Any soldier in uniform got food, drink & entertainment free of charge.
I’ve seen pictures of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars from the 1930’s dancing with the men and entertaining the troops there. For many men it was the last great memory before they shipped overseas to the front. A lot of those guys never made it back. Makes me feel really good that this was done for our men.
Hollywood still does a lot to help our military overseas with all sorts of services.
Mila Kunis is a famous actress but she’s not a member of the royal family. She’s not even really an A-list actress or a serious tabloid target, liike Julia Roberts or Angelina Jolie. Why on earth would there need to be extra security? I’m pretty sure Mila Kunis goes to the store and parties and stuff without having to worry about security arrangements.
At to her schedule, that’s why she has a personal assistant. It’s the assistant’s job to do that.
Hollywood is so competitive, and good press is so desireable, other Marines should try this, with other actresses! Mila already said yes; how can Scarlett Johansson say no? Or Megan Fox? That girl needs some good publicity!
