In Hollywood, where there are constant rumors, there are always some people who will surprise you. Today's protagonist is Zach Galifianakis.
Such a chubby, untrimmed, and not at all mixed with Hollywood handsome men and beautiful women, he may not know who he is, but when it comes to the movie The Hangover, some people will remember that he is one of the protagonists in this series of movies.
But this chubby boy has a heart of gold.
<h1>It should have been a happy life</h1>
In 1994, Zach was just an unknown actor in the Santa Monica area of California. To impress the producers, he often visited a local laundromat to wash his suit. At the laundromat, he met the 92-year-old grandmother, Elizabeth.
Unlike outsiders who see it, she is not a customer of the laundromat, but instead lives in the laundromat to help customers wash their clothes and earn a meager income to buy food. And behind her, there is a tragic experience.
Once, she lived in a family that did not worry about food and clothing, and was also a big beauty who was uncompromising, and had a happy and happy marriage.

She had two daughters, and unfortunately one of them died.

However, at the age of 50, her husband's empathy made her completely dead. After the divorce, Elizabeth was saddled with a heavy mortgage and could only live in a minivan.
The hardships of the day made her quickly become a wanderer on the street. Make a living by picking up trash and eating food thrown away in restaurants. Gradually, the relationship with his daughter became more and more distant.
More than a decade of wandering allowed Elizabeth to meet the current Fox laundromat owner.
On a cold and rainy night, the owner let Elizabeth stay in the shop for one night without compensation. Because of this encounter, Elizabeth became a special "resident" of the laundromat. I lived there for 20 years.
She cherished this opportunity, and soon she became good friends with many customers in the store, and also helped the laundromat retain many old customers. But so far no one knows her story, what she's had been through. It wasn't until Zach's appearance that people knew about the grandmother's past.
<h1>Thanks for having you</h1>
Zach chats with Elizabeth every time he goes to the laundromat, but Elizabeth never tells Zach about her past, and when she learns that Zach wants to be an actor and is confused, she gives Zach spiritual support.
Zach eventually rose to fame in the 2009 Hangover First film. At that time, Zach had enough money to buy himself a more comfortable apartment and a washing machine to wash his clothes. Although far apart, he still returned to fox laundromat from time to time to visit Elizabeth.
One morning in 2011, Zach went to visit Elizabeth early, when he found Elizabeth sleeping in a corner of the laundromat, and at this moment Zach learned that the grandmother lived in the laundromat. Elizabeth confessed her past.
Zach, who knew everything, left quietly as usual, but this time the difference was that he rented an apartment for Elizabeth near the laundromat and paid for her utilities and rent.
Not only that, zach even asked his friend at the time, Renee Zellweger, to take care of Elizabeth when she couldn't find time, and Renee happily agreed. She helped Elizabeth buy a lot of household items and made sure there was always plenty of food in the refrigerator.
What is even more precious is that Renee and Elizabeth have family-like feelings in ordinary time together, and Renee also treats Elizabeth as if she were her second mother.
Elizabeth is special to Zach, not only allowing Elizabeth to play some roles in some of her films, but also to lead Elizabeth through the red carpet with Renee at the opening ceremony of the third part of "The Hangover". But no one at the time knew about the relationship between Grandma and Zach, Renee.
Later, a documentary about Elizabeth, "Queen Mimi", appeared in public, and her past, the small story between her and Zach and Renee, really appeared in front of the world.
This grandmother is undoubtedly happy, with the help of Hollywood stars to live a stable life. But as everyone says of Elizabeth: "You wouldn't imagine a grandmother so old, even though she had a sad past, but she remained so cheerful and enthusiastic about everyone and everything." ”
The story about her has also spread in many places at once. The laundromat where she lived even put her poster in the storefront, attracting more people who wanted to know about her past and preventing unsuspecting people from looking at Elizabeth with contempt.
Although Elizabeth is now known to many people as a star, she still washes the laundry of customers at the laundromat every day. The aura is still not forgotten after the aura is added, which is probably why Elizabeth can be fascinated.
