SHORT TAKES : Willis Pays for Humble Roots
From Times Wire Services
NEW YORK — Bruce Willis doesn’t want to forget his humble beginnings, so he still pays rent on a rundown Manhattan apartment.
“To me, it’s a reminder of where I came from. That’s one memory I don’t want to lose,” Willis said in the Sunday issue of Parade magazine.

He earned a combined $10 million for the two “Die Hard” movies.
