Maria Bello to the rescue.

Most of us are still a little bit on edge when it comes to flying. We all simply want a smooth flight with no interruptions getting us from point A to point B (with a layover at point F). So I can imagine what people were thinking and possibly fearing when a lady on a flight out of Los Angeles started freaking out from a paranoid schizophrenic attack.
Now, if I hear screaming coming from any part of the plane I will almost immediately assume the worst. I don’t think I am alone in that assumption. Even the pilots reportedly were thinking about an emergency landing. But it seems that Maria Bello has had experience with mental illness. She came to the woman’s (and the passengers’) rescue when she “ended up sitting with her for the duration of the flight, praying and taking control of the situation.“
Maria could have sat quietly, hoping some professional would help the lady, and we would all have read a story about some plane having to make an emergency landing and oh, actress Maria Bello was on board. But Maria took control of the situation, used skills she isn’t known for and saved the day. Maria is known for her skills in acting. But that woman is glad Maria has some hidden talents.

What kind of hidden talents do you have? Is there a hero in you that can break out of the confining public or personal perceptions and save someone’s day? You may be needed when safety fails.
