Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) has captured an unusual trio of endorsements in the Democratic primary. Actor Tom Hanks, Republican former senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole and Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) are all backing her in a hotly-contested race against fellow Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).

All three worked with Kaptur to build the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.

"As partners with Congresswoman Kaptur in the long national effort to build the Memorial, we wish her all the best in her campaign for re-election and we urge Ohio voters to support her on March 6," Hanks, Dole and Dingell wrote in a letter.

As Roll Call notes, Kucinich also has his share of Hollywood supporters and friends, including Shirley MacLaine, Sean Penn and Russell Simmons.
