While publicly thanking doctors and other front-line workers by cheering has become a daily ritual across America, a quiet conspiracy of kindness that involves some of Hollywood’s biggest names sending thank you videos to medics has been ongoing for weeks.
“There has been an overwhelmingly beautiful human response to all of this,” the instructor said. “I was thinking maybe 20 videos would be made, but we’ve gotten over 250. And in lots of them the celebrities say at some point, ‘It would be an honor to meet you some day.’”“In one case we had a young doctor from Pakistan who was telling us about this lovely note she got and she clearly didn’t know who the celebrity was,” he said.
One of the people the instructor pitched was a well-known TV writer and playwright who asked to be identified only by her first name, Jackie. “That message is emailed or sent by text to me,” he wrote. “I send the message to the health care worker. That way everything stays personal. Private.” Jackie said they both agreed that the best way to make this work was to keep it underground for as long as possible.
Morrow, who became known playing a New York City doctor marooned in Alaska in the “Northern Exposure” TV series, sent a video thank you to Dr. Poroshat Shekarloo and let slip he was working on a show about rock climbing, which happens to be one of the doctor’s favorite pursuits.
