Actress Julie Bower of Modern Family and her sister, who is a medical doctor, helped rescue a hiker when she fainted recently at Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. The hiker, Minnie John, was visiting Arches with her family. As they neared the trail's end, John felt lightheaded, dizzy and unable to make it to the arch, which was still 15 minutes away. She sat down on a rock and told her family to go on without her. All I remember is sitting there with my head in my hands secure on the rock. Next thing, I hear someone with a familiar voice kept asking me questions, John explained. Bowen, her sister and a guide came upon John, who had fainted. When John awakened, they discovered that she is diabetic and had forgotten to eat since breakfast. They cleaned her wound, provided her with electrolytes, medicine and food, then contacted her family and stayed with her until they returned. They were so down to earth, so genuine, so sweet -- not at all how you might expect a big actor or a big doctor to be, which they are. They were just so humble, so loving, John said.
