"It's nice to help remember somebody who really made a very positive difference in the world"
About this Quote
The phrase "help remember" is especially telling. It frames remembrance as a shared task, not a private emotion. Subtext: memory doesn't just happen; it needs airtime, repetition, and a familiar face willing to keep the story in circulation. Coming from a long-time TV personality, it reads as a quiet defense of what celebrity platforms can do at their best: keep attention trained on something other than the celebrity.
Then she raises the stakes with "really made a very positive difference in the world". The extra qualifiers ("really", "very") are doing reputational labor, shoring up sincerity in an era where praise can feel automatic, PR-managed, or hollow. It's grief language designed for broadcast: specific enough to honor, general enough to fit multiple lives and moments.
Contextually, this is the voice of entertainment news at its most earnest, where the job is to make public mourning feel accessible without turning it into spectacle. Hart's intent is to dignify remembrance while subtly reminding us that cultural memory is curated, and curation can be an act of care.
