Just ordinary celebrities

I’d like to commend Mary McNamara for an excellent look at modern celebrity and what we as of that celebrity need to do going forward [“The Fault Is Not in Our Stars, as It Goes,” Oct. 21]. People need to stop thinking of celebrities and politicians and anyone out in the public eye as beyond humanity. They’re just people, and while they may be talented in one or two areas of life, they’re still fallible and flawed, just like you and me.
