The 40-year-old "Chicago" star was getting her caffeine fix in Santa Monica when a paparazzo noticed that her parking meter was about to expire. The unnamed photographer then slid coins in the meter to save the actress from getting a ticket.

Zellweger noticed what the Good Samaritan did, so when she was paying for her coffee, she also asked for the cashier for a $100 voucher, the Daily Mail said.

She then handed the photographer the Starbucks coupon with a handwritten note on the back, saying, "Wow. Thank you so much for the kindness. Warmly, with gratitude. Renee."

Nice to know a big star like the three-time Golden Globe winner knows how to say thanks in a big way.

Zellweger was recently seen in the horror film "Case 39." She will also appear alongside Forest Whitaker in the drama "My Own Love Song," which is slated for a September release.
