Jeannie Fenton

Jeannie Fenton, yeah, she's the name you keep seeing pop up with "Thank You, Dr. Fauci" (2024). The movie? Oh, it’s a wild one. Set right in the thick of the pandemic chaos, it zooms in on the lives of a handful of people whose worlds have been thrown off balance—like, not just a little, but totally flipped. Dr. Fauci becomes this sort of unlikely hero, but not in that cheesy, over-the-top superhero way. More like, he’s this steady presence on their TV screens, dropping facts while everything else feels like it’s falling apart. Some folks hang on his every word, others roll their eyes, and then you’ve got the conspiracy crowd tossing around wild theories in Zoom calls and group chats. And then there’s Jeannie Fenton’s character—she’s not just background noise. She’s a nurse, grinding away on the frontlines, sometimes hopeful, sometimes just dead-tired. The film doesn’t sugarcoat anything—there’s loss, a lot of fear, some dark humor, even a little hope peeking through the cracks. You see families arguing over masks, friends drifting apart, couples stuck together in tiny apartments, learning way too much about each other. Basically, it’s a snapshot of a world trying to make sense of the mess, clinging to science but also desperate for human connection. It’s raw, it’s real, and honestly, it’ll hit you right in the feels.
