Zach Braff has given Amanda Kloots her flowers!
Kloots has been an inspiration to many, especially those dealing with loss and grief, following the death of her husband, Nick Cordero, in 2020, through her honesty about the tragedy. One of the people he influenced was Braff, who took a leaf out of his book and channeled the pain of losing his father, sister and Cordero — his best friend — into his new film, “A Good Person.”
Zach Braff Admits Amanda Kloots’ Strengths Inspire Her Weaknesses In New Film
When Braff joined the ladies of “The Talk” to promote his latest project, they discussed the part that vulnerability plays in the details. The film, starring his then-partner Florence Pugh, is based on the feelings that arose from the actor’s lifelong battle with anxiety and depression.
During their chat, Kloots stated that while he understands how difficult conversations about grief can be, he wanted to know how Braff had allowed himself to be so vulnerable in writing the film.
“It’s surreal to talk about this with you because you and I are going through this together,” the “Chicken Little” voice actor began. He explained that he had lost his sister, Shoshanna, two years after she had an aneurysm and his father had cancer.
“And then the pandemic happened, and Amanda and Zi went through what we went through with Nick getting covid, being hospitalized, and I sat down to write my own story of grief and loss. And I wanted to write about standing back up, and you inspired me,” Braff continued, putting his hand on Kloots arm.
He reiterated that the former Rockettes dancer was the inspiration for “Good People” because “his story is about how we humans are resilient and [can] bounce back after loss and grief and addiction and see hope on the horizon.” A snippet of the conversation was shared by the “Fit for Christmas” cast, who partially wrote below:
“When you allow yourself to be vulnerable, open and honest, you find that sharing your story helps you and helps many others. Weaknesses you felt became strengths you never knew you had and loneliness was replaced by community.
The Ohio native’s final plea for viewers to “go see it” was well received by her fans as one confirmed, “So gonna watch this ❤️” in the comments.
A second netizen agreed, “I can’t wait to see this movie,” and a third praised, “Bravo to both of you, for helping so many others start to heal and talk about this topic!” A fourth fan wrote, “A beautiful full circle. moment. Inspiring to see you both take sadness and turn it into beauty.”
According to the review of Caretaker, the film follows a woman, Allison, who becomes addicted to opioids after being injured in an accident that kills two of her loved ones. Eventually, he ended things with his fiance and joined a 12-step meeting to deal with alcoholism and OxyContin addiction.
“A Good Person” was released on March 24 in theaters.

In the years after her husband’s death, Kloots continued to have honest — and genuine — discussions about grief. The “Bullets Over Broadway” star did so again in January when she responded to fans’ views on her process via an Instagram Story, The Blast reported.
According to the update, the dancer uploaded a picture of her wearing a plain t-shirt, face without makeup, and exposed. The mother of one informed her fans that she had just finished an emotional interview on Michael Cruz Kayne’s “A Good Cry” podcast, noting that they had a deep conversation about grief.
In response, one observer sent her a DM reading, “It seems like you move forward, and sometimes you take two steps back,” to which Kloots replied, “I think that’s the definition of sadness.”
Along with a screenshot of the text, the 41-year-old explained that he has no problem “taking two steps back” because “that’s how we learn, grow and develop.” He shared that his “biggest fear” was being stuck because he refused to take the baby steps needed to help him process and come to a conclusion:
“Grief changes you. It makes many things very clear in life. In clarity, there is power.”
