Celebrities That Prove That You Can Be Kind And Successful

For whatever reason, fans adore almost all celebrities. Redditors have been discussing, however, whether or not many of them merit their notoriety or wealth. They all undoubtedly put in a lot of effort to be where they are now.

A few celebrities, however, go above and beyond. Many of them deserve everything they’ve accomplished because they’re remarkable human beings.

Rick Moranis

Rick Moranis, he is my entire childhood. He left acting to raise his kids when his wife sadly passed. Good to hear he’s working on some projects, and we’ll see him again soon.

I just hate that he’s coming back for a reboot of the “Honey I Shrunk” franchise. The first movie is the only good one. My favorite is Little Shop. I actually named my kid after Ellen Greene’s character. It’s my favorite movie musical.

Jonas Salk

He cured polio and then gave away the cure to the world for free. That’s the mark of a truly selfless person.

I am old enough to have had friends with polio. I still remember getting the vaccine. I still bear the scar. In 1961, we were all given a further dose (the Sabin Vaccine) on a sugar cube in class at our elementary school.

Fred Rogers

In the same vein, Mr. Dressup. Nothing but wonderful things to say about either of these great people. I was on an overnight field trip when Mr. Dressup died, and my mom, myself, and a number of students, teachers, and volunteers cried over him.

As a rule, I don’t trust anyone who tries to give off a persona that’s overtly nice because usually, it’s a front for toxic people. Almost nobody is that good. But Fred Rogers was something special.

Dolly Parton

I’ve just listened to a podcast where they interview her. Dollywood employees now get their education paid by her. That woman is unstoppable with her kindness. I’ll never forget about Dolly’s imagination library! They literally send you free books from birth till you go to school.

One of the best childhood memories I had was getting them in the mail all wrapped up and living just a drive from Dollywood too! She was such a big part of my life growing up, and meeting her in person multiple times was the best. She’s so genuine and sweet.
