You don't get to the top without being nice.

That’s why some of Hollywood’s most successful celebs are known for being extremely polite to both their fans and their Hollywood co-stars. It's a stark contrast to these celebs with a bad reputation!

The country crooner is about as sweet as they come! When Dolly Parton was listed on Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2021, Miley Cyrus sang her praises.

"Have you ever met anyone who doesn't love Dolly Parton? I never have," Cyrus wrote on Instagram. "Dolly is not only my idol because of her incomparable career — she's also my role model because of her steadfast morals and values. At her core, she is the definition of a humanitarian."

If anyone could make a demon likable, it's Ted! We first met the actor on the '80s sitcom, Cheers, and then laughed along with him on The Good Place. Those who have worked with him have nothing but good things to say, like when co-star Kristen Bell called him a "national treasure."

Every franchise needs a leader, and Marvel had Robert. The Iron Man actor is responsible for hyping up so many of his co-stars to take on their roles, like when he convinced Chris Evans to become Captain America. He even gave Evans a custom-built 1967 Camaro after wrapping Avengers: Infinity War.

The fact that the late actor is still so missed is a testament to how great he really was. When Lisa Jakub, who played Lydia in Mrs. Doubtfire, was kicked out of school for missing school due to filming, Robin went out of his way to write a letter to the school, asking them to take her back.

Adam Sandler
