Fred Thompson: star power everywhere but the bank account

“Law and Order” star Fred Thompson might be the actor in the assembly of 2008 presidential hopefuls, but that doesn’t mean he’s got the support of Hollywood.

Far from it. An examination of the $3.4 million the Friends of Fred Thompson Committee raised on the former senator’s behalf shows a serious dearth of star power.

There was, of course, the donations from “Law and Order” creator Dick Wolf and his wife Naomi - $4,600 in all. Beyond that, Thompson’s entertainment industry takings appear to herald mainly from his home state of Tennessee.
