Steven Spielberg donates $25,000 to actor's family.
The filmmaker and his wife contributed to a collection for the late Dawson's Creek star, who died this week aged 48. This campaign has now exceeded its $2m goal, receiving additional support from figures like Zoe Saldana. Organisers launched the appeal because significant medical bills depleted the funds available to his widow and six children.
