BILL MURRAY TO JUMP FROM PLANE AT AIR AND WATER SHOW
Actor and North Shore native Bill Murray is known for taking risks professionally. But who knew he'd be willing to jump out of an airplane in front of hundreds of thousands of fans -- and at North Avenue Beach, to boot!
The Oscar nominee will be the star attraction for an extra performance being added to the Chicago Air and Water Show on Friday, Aug. 15.
Murray has agreed to tandem jump with the Golden Knights onto North Avenue Beach at 3 p.m. that Friday afternoon. The actor, comedian and huge Cubs fan agreed to the stunt to bring attention to the USO of Illinois and the work that organization does on behalf of American troops here and overseas.
Actress and singer Florence Henderson will sing the national anthem that day to signal the opening of the air and water demonstrations, which also will include the traditional aerial acrobatics performed by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.
