Woman Returns Actress's Lost Wallet

When Venita Vance opened a wallet she found on a plane, she saw a photo of a familiar face -- actress Nicole Ari Parker.

Vance, an airline employee at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, said the wallet contained credit cards, cash and personal items. Luckily, there was enough information to track down its owner, who has appeared in the films 'Boogie Nights,' 'Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins' and the Showtime series 'Soul Food.' Parker was shooting a TV series in Texas at the time, so she sent her boyfriend, actor Boris Kodjoe, to retrieve the missing item.

"He called and said, 'I'm on my way,'" Vance recalled. "And I said, 'What am I going to wear?'"

When Kodjoe ('Soul Food,' 'Surrogates,') arrived, he posed for a photo with Vance, who said she normally lives a dull life.
