"Hurricane Sandy devastated areas of the northeastern United States well over a year ago, but the repairs continue. \"You cannot help everybody, but you can do something,\" says Julianna Margulies, star of the CBS drama The Good Wife. The subject of AD's February 2014 cover story, she is an enthusiastic supporter of the St. Bernard Project, a charity that was founded following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to help New Orleans get back on its feet. Most recently it's aided the Hurricane Sandy recovery, too, focusing on Staten Island and Rockaway, New York. \"One of the crew members of The Good Wife had just made the final payment on his house on Staten Island when Sandy hit,\" Margulies says, \"so we adopted his town and brought out generators and as much manpower as we could.\" The effort on that outing\u2014including pitching in to rebuild shattered homes, from laying drywall to painting siding\u2014\"changed the lives of six families.\"\n\nPinterestFacebookMargulies and costar Chris Noth lay drywall in a home damaged by Hurricane Sandy.\n\nIn addition to becoming one of the St. Bernard Project's thousands of volunteers, Margulies has been a force on the fundraising side of the organization\u2014something that didn't escape the attention of the William Morris Endeavor Agency, which represents the actress. \"WME was about to take out a big ad in Variety congratulating me on our show's 100th episode in November,\" she explains. \"They said, \u2018It's going to cost thousands of dollars, but we have a feeling you'd rather the money be spent elsewhere.'\" So she did. That, plus additional monies raided through other donations, resulted in a check to St. Bernard Project for more than $77,000. Says Margulies, \"Since the cameras are following you because you are somewhat famous or on a television show, you might as well take the opportunity to point them in the direction of people or places less fortunate than you.\"\n\nFor information about the St. Bernard Project, go to sandy.stbernardproject.org or call 504-277-6831."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
