If Hollywood has a “DaVinci Code,” Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has cracked it.
Top stars such as Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson donated to the New York senator in recent months, generating the kind of cash usually associated with a major box office opening – or a potential presidential bid in 2008.
Clinton, who doesn’t face much of a challenge in her re-election, received $4,200 from “The DaVinci Code” star Hanks, the Academy Award-winning actor, and his wife, Rita Wilson.
The itemized donations were made public Wednesday.
Another contributor was Chris Rock, one of many comedians who made bawdy jokes at the Clintons’ expense after the investigation into Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. Rock gave the senator $2,100.
Singer Bette Midler gave the maximum allowed by law, $4,200, as did actor James Caan.
