Taylor Swift is famous for treating her fans like friends. Years ago, when the superstar was just starting out, she would invite concertgoers backstage for “T Parties,” where they would meet her family and hang out. She has also been known to visit Swifties in the hospital, attend wedding showers, and even include them in her music videos. Though her fan base now numbers in the millions, she still engages frequently on social media and continues her post-show meet-and-greets. The genuine kindness she shows her fans proves just how high a premium she puts on being good to others.

Onstage and on-screen, Judy Garland was splendid at channeling characters, especially through song. Yet in private moments — which, for the lifelong star, were few and far between — she prided herself on her authenticity. The Oscar nominee and Grammy winner found that highlighting her favorite parts of her personality — from her sense of humor and strong convictions to her encyclopedic entertainment knowledge — drove others to embrace her even more. Long before her daughters Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft became performers, Garland taught them that people who are true to themselves leave the strongest imprints on the world.
