Why not Danner for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 82-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Danner so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Philadelphia Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Philadelphia (Blythe Danner's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#DannerPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Blythe has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 22 Feb 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Blythe Danner?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Feb 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Blythe Danner?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
