Sept. 22 (UPI) — Singer-songwriter Jack White has donated $30,000 to help transform the Oklahoma house from the 1983 movie The Outsiders into a museum.
Tulsa World reported the gift allowed fundraisers to meet their $75,000 goal.
“Jack White closed the thing and got it done,” fundraiser Danny O’Connor told the newspaper Thursday. “I have a feeling there’s a brass plaque in order in the cement at that house pretty soon. What a guy. I couldn’t think of a better person to come wrap this bow up, tie the loose ends up.”
O’Connor also tweeted: “If there’s a higher caliber of human being who just happens to be a rock god I haven’t met em’. Thank you, Jack White. You are a prince among men. Stay Gold.”
The house served as the Curtis brothers’ home in the 1983 screen adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic young-adult novel. The film starred C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Diane Lane and Emilio Estevez.
“Stay gold, Jack White!” Lowe tweeted.
