Octavia Spencer kicked of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend with a generous gift in honor of her late mother.
The 46-year-old actress offered a free screening of her critically acclaimed film Hidden Figures for families in need — buying out Friday’s 8 p.m. showing at a Baldwin Hills movie theater in Los Angeles.
“If you know a family in need that would like to see our movie but can’t afford it have them come,” Spencer wrote on Instagram, captioning a hand-painted watercolor image of her character in the movie by artist Stella Blu. “It’s first come, first served.”
“My mom would not have been able to afford to take me and my siblings. So, I’m honoring her and all single parents this #mlkweekend,” she added. “Pass the word.”
