Compassion for all the old folk—those say 60+--who are too sacred to accept who they are, which includes but is not limited to, how they look. Compassion for those who overdo hair coloring, chin tucks, plastic surgery, that kind of thing. Compassion for young women today as they work hard to be acknowledged for their professional work, not for how physically attractive they are.
Nevins tell hilarious stories to express compassion. “I would grow to champion stories about those less fortunate,” which she accomplished as president of HBO Documentary Films. Nevins may be in the category of old, but she sure has a marvelous understanding of and sense of humor about who she is.
