The Hangover movies have been good to their stars. The films’ massive profits have led to a number of opportunities for all involved, with other starring roles, TV series and more.
Zach Galifianakis, one of the stars of The Hangover 3, has shared his good fortune in a very personal way. In the 1990s, he became friends with Mimi Haist, who worked at a local laundromat for tips. When he learned two years ago that she had become homeless, he helped her get into an apartment and began taking the 87 year old to movie premieres and other red carpet events.
