Ratner rescued ‘Empire’ star after car accident

Paz de la Huerta credits “Tower Heist” director Brett Ratner for saving her life after a car accident. The eccentric “Boardwalk Empire” actress was hit by a speeding car while filming her latest movie, “Nurse 3-D.” She thought she was OK until she fainted and needed to be rushed to the hospital. Huerta was overheard telling guests at the Architectural Digest Oasis at the Raleigh Hotel during Art Basel this past weekend how Ratner helped her find the top doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, where she ended up needing several surgeries. She was also overheard telling friends how much better she’s feeling since. Her manager didn’t get back to us.
