Nancy Cartwright Wins Award For Giving Scientology $10 Million - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Actress Nancy Cartwright, the voice behind cartoon character Bart Simpson, has been awarded Scientology's Patron Laureate Award after donating $10 million to the faith in 2007.

Cartwright's gift - almost two times her annual salary from The Simpsons - puts her top of a list of celebrity benefactors, who have handed over their hard-earned cash to the Church of Scientology. She gave even more than Tom

Cruise - who is reported to be the controversial religion's second-in-command - who has donated $5 million in the last four years.

According to Impact magazine, Kirstie Alley gave $5 million last year and has picked up the Diamond Meritorious Award.

Fellow followers John Travolta and Kelly Preston gave $1 million each and were awarded the Gold Meritorious Award, while Priscilla Presley was handed the Patron Award for a donation of $50,000.

The prizes were handed out at a top secret ceremony in Florida last summer, according to the publication.

rofl, I agree. Scientology is the religion that takes takes takes and never gives

If it is a top secret ceremony, why are they publically announcing who gave what?

So that others in their group can out-do the other?

For that you get a $2 Bart Simpson "Don't have a cow, man!" pin and a 50 cents-off coupon for M&Ms
