Re: Alec Baldwin donates $1 million to NY Phil

I like Alec Baldwin's work as an actor and enjoy the podcast interviews he does for WNYC. I question some of his public behavior, but I am sure that there are few people who have not done things they regret. I have done or said things in my life that I wish I could take back, but fortunately nobody is following me around with a camera.

I think you are somehow drawing a line connecting his various issues and this donation. While he is the same person, I don't believe there is any connection between the two actions. I am sure that he, like most everyone, has many sides to his personality, good and bad.

FWIW, it is not a "one time gesture"

I appreciate Mr. Baldwin's intention to help arts organizations here in the US and to bring attention to their needs, especially at a time when some of our top cultural institutions are struggling.
