Jennifer Garner uses fame for charity

Tampa Star (IANS) Tuesday 7th February, 2012

Actress Jennifer Garner says she uses her fame to do as much charity work as possible and make a positive difference in the world.

The 39-year-old, who is married to Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck, accepts her celebrity status and the attention that goes with it, and she is determined to use her profile to help charities and do good deeds.

"My view on fame? In the film business, you have perks beyond your dreams. You can make a sick child smile and raise money for charity, just by being well known. I also strongly believe in treating people well, whatever their job and whatever happens. I think good manners are important," contactmusic.com quoted Garner as saying.
