Hollywood action men Kirk Douglas and Harrison Ford donned aprons and grabbed serving spoons to help dish out Thanksgiving dinners to Los Angeles' homeless here Wednesday.
Douglas, 90, was joined by "Indiana Jones" star Ford and a bevy of other celebrities who served up meals of roast turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy to the needy at the Los Angeles Mission on Skid Row.
It was the third year in a row that Douglas, the star of iconic Hollywood classics such as "Spartacus" and "Ulysses," has hosted the annual charity event at the downtown shelter and the Anne Douglas Center for Women.
Douglas thanked fellow celebrities and public figures such as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for supporting the event.
"It is also inspiring to see the actors and politicians come and help serve," Douglas said.
Other celebrities in attendance on Wednesday included Ford's partner, "Ally McBeal" star Calista Flockhart.
According to official figures released earlier this year, Los Angeles remains the United States homeless capital with more than 40,000 people sleeping rough every night.

本周三，好萊塢動作影星柯克?道格拉斯和哈里森?福特系著圍裙、手拿菜勺，為洛杉磯的無家可歸者分發“感恩節”愛心餐。
90歲的道格拉斯與曾出演《印第安那?瓊斯》的哈里森?福特及其他一些名人一起來到“洛杉磯使命”慈善機構的收容所，為那里的無家可歸者端上烤火雞、土豆泥和肉湯等飯菜。
這是道格拉斯連續第三年在這個收容所和安妮?道格拉斯婦女救助中心開展慈善活動。道格拉斯曾出演過好萊塢經典影片《斯巴達克斯》和《尤利塞斯》。
道格拉斯對其他影星和洛杉磯市長安東尼奧?維拉萊格薩等社會名人對這一活動的支持表示了感謝。
他說：“看到好萊塢的同行和政治名人也來到這里幫忙，我感到很受鼓舞。”
哈里森?福特的女友、出演《甜心俏佳人》的女星卡莉斯塔?弗勞卡特也參加了本周三的“感恩節”慈善活動。
據今年年初公布的官方統計數據，洛杉磯每晚有四萬多人露宿街頭，是美國無家可歸者最多的城市。
