Sandra Bullock rescued collapsed extra

Gravity actress Sandra Bullock sure knows how to handle a crisis. The Oscar winner quickly came to the rescue of an extra who collapsed due to heat stroke during filming in New Orleans on the set of her upcoming film, Our Brand Is Crisis. While waiting for emergency responders to arrive, Sandra took measures into her own hands and provided the woman with water and even fanned her in the shade.  An ambulance later arrived and took the woman to a nearby hospital. The woman presumably collapsed because the movie, which films in New Orleans where temperatures are already high, called for heavy coats to be worn. Co-star Billy Bob Thornton was also present but mainly observed from the side. Our Brand Is Crisis is based on the 2005 documentary of the same name and focuses on the use of American political campaign strategies in South America. ~Janine Wyslobicky
