Bruce Willis's mother, Marlene Willis, has a special weekend hobby that's earned her recognition from the LAPD. The 90-year-old has been volunteering her weekday afternoons for the past 22 years doing a special task for the police force.
According to NBC Los Angeles, not many realize that Marlene is the famed Hollywood A-lister's mother. Known as "Mrs. Willis" among those at the West Los Angeles station, she has spent her Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays afternoons checking grammar and adding notes to police reports. The LAPD chief calls her a hidden asset to the force.
"I think she means the very best of people that are individuals who believe in the work that our men and women do," former LAPD Chief Michel Moore told NBC Los Angeles.
Some officers at the station claim they wouldn't know what to do without her, even going as far as giving them a hug after returning from difficult incidents. Mrs. Willis says, "I want to help so much, so much. You have no idea. You cannot imagine how much I want to help."
Cpt. Rich Gabaldo calls Mrs. Willis a true "icon" and an "integral" part of the police force. For her dedicated volunteer work, she has been recognized as the LAPD volunteer of the year, with then-Chief Moore giving her an even higher honor.
"While I can't make her a cop, I can at least give her the greatest symbol of what it means to be a cop. And that is a badge of the law center police department," Moore said.

Moore went on to say in his message to Mrs. Willis that there are certain people in their lives that "leave a lasting impression," and she had "risen to the top of one of the best impressions." Despite being the mother of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, no one would be the wiser.
They reveal that Mrs. Willis doesn't mention her son while at the station or makes it largely known. The only giveaway is her screensaver featuring a photo of her actor son giving her a hug. It was an aspect of her character that "impressed" Moore when meeting her.
"This is my family," Mrs. Willis said about the LAPD. "I mean that 100%."
