Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn has been hailed as an "American hero" after his brave rescue efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Mystic River star was ridiculed when an Australian journalist reported he had forgotten to fix a hole in his boat, which supposedly started sinking as he scooped water out of it with a plastic cup.

But presidential historian and eyewitness Douglas Brinkley insists the claims are completely false, as big-hearted Penn valiantly saved up to 40 survivors.

Brinkley, who is chronicling the city's recovery from the disaster, tells the New York Daily News, "There was never a leak. The boat was overloaded with people. It got some water in it, as boats usually do.

"I witnessed him rescuing up to 40 people. He was up to his waist in toxic muck.

"I'm not going to comment on Sean's trips to Iraq or Iran, but in this case, he was an American hero."

Sean Penn comes to the rescue of Katrina victims
Tuesday, 06 September , 2005, 14:59
New York: Hollywood actor Sean Penn took matters into his own hands by launching a boat in a personal effort to rescue families stranded in New Orleans.

According to The New York Daily News, the Oscar-winning actor and political activist managed to reach several people who had been trapped in their homes since Hurricane Katrina hit on Monday.

Penn, who was accompanied by his personal photographer and a crew of helpers, brought the victims to dry land - and gave them cash as well.

Johnnie Brown, 73, a retired custodian, called his sister on a cell phone after being plucked from his flooded house. "Guess who come and got me out of the house? Sean Penn the actor. Them boys were really nice," he said.

Penn later accompanied a few of them to a hospital.

Asked what he was doing in the disaster zone, Penn said, "Whatever I can do to help."

"There's a lot of people out there," Penn said. "There's bodies everywhere. We could only do so many houses."
