BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Jim Carrey is donating $1 million to the families of victims of last week's terrorist attacks, his publicist said.

Carrey hopes the donation will encourage others to contribute as generously as they can, spokeswoman Marleah Leslie said Wednesday.

He hasn't yet decided which organization to make his donation through, she said.
