Zoe Saldana has played an action hero on the big screen – and this week she played a hero in real life.

The Avatar star, 33, rushed to the aid of an elderly woman who had reportedly gotten into a car accident in Culver City, Calif., on Wednesday.

"Zoe witnessed the car accident, and was very quick to help," says an onlooker. She "immediately got on the phone with 911 and she seemed very concerned."

Saldana and another passerby transported the woman – who was conscious but injured – from her car to the curb. There they called 911 and waited for police and paramedic attention on the scene.

The onlooker adds: "While waiting for help to arrive, Zoe returned to the woman's car and picked up the woman's handbag and sweater. Zoe was very caring and sweet to the woman." 

沪江娱乐快讯：《阿凡达》女主角佐伊·索尔达娜在大荧幕上经常扮演女英雄，这回她在现实生活中做了回真正的英雄。昨日，佐伊在美国加州目击一场车祸。她立即打电话报警并与另一名路过的目击者一同将受伤老妇人抬到路边，好在老妇人还算清醒，只是受了皮外伤。对于这样的义举佐伊没有发表任何申明。看来这位女明星是典型的做了好事不留名的好同志！对于佐伊来说，也许这并不是什么义举，只是每一个有良知的都应该做的事情。明星也是老百姓，佐伊只是做了应该做的事情。但是希望佐伊的明星光环以及她做的好事，她的行为能够成为更多人带来好的影响。
