Baldwin donates $1M to Philharmonic

Just days after tying the knot with his yoga instructor, Alec Baldwin donated $1 million to the New York Philharmonic, The Associated Press reports. The gift is in honor of outgoing President and Executive Director Zarin Mehta. The "30 Rock" actor is a Philharmonic board member and hosts its radio show, "The New York Philharmonic This Week." He said in a statement that Mehta made his dream of becoming part of the world of classical music come true. The Philharmonic said the gift is a donation of proceeds Baldwin received from a Capital One advertising campaign.
