The celebs who’ve become heroes

DEAR… NEW SHOW

‘Your legacy is every life you’ve touched,’ says Oprah Winfrey during this new biographical series. Inspired by the Dear Apple adverts, in which consumers describe the impact of the company’s products on their lives, it profiles a number of public figures while hearing from the fans who have been moved to write to them after being inspired by their work. Winfrey is one of those featured, alongside the likes of Gloria Steinem, Spike Lee (inset right), Lin-Manuel Miranda, Yara Shahidi, Stevie Wonder, Jane Goodall, Misty Copeland and, our personal favourite, Sesame Street resident Big Bird (pictured, right) – we’re hoping his best friend Mr Snuffleupagus is among those paying tribute.

Expect tears of joy from the celebrities as they hear about the effect they have had on ordinary people across the globe. Apple TV+, from Friday
