Meryl Streep is one of the few actors I would be thrilled to meet. She’s nothing short of amazing. It’s incredible how someone so likable could play a character so hatable (Big Little Lies)...

Reporter is the relative of Oprah ... she started her questioning even before Meryl Streep completed her sentences. Lady you are talking to a legend give her some respects please.

Meryl is a class act! Love the woman! She is a very European actress! Hard to believe she was raised at New Jersey;)

[dagmarrrrrr_]

I think the actors that play in this series is one of theire best work

[gracekealoha]

Hey her earrings look like the heart in Titanic

[angiedorado]

ok i'm gonna give my opinion in my language, 'cause i have to be real as she


Ella aceptó el papel rapidisimo porque tiene fe en la nueva camada de actrices y apoya los proyectos feministas...y si este no es la mejor productora femenina del momento como cabezas como Whiterspoon y Kidman, no se....mas alla de eso, saber qie sos parte del cambio que queres ver en el mundo...es lo que ella siempre promulgó, igualdad, respeto, sororidad, y sobre todo apoyar el arte de mujeres con talento.

Trump was right again he said Harry was going to need a lot of luck with Meghan Markel and was dead on.He also said This woman was over rated and in my opinion he is right about that and l was never even aTrump supporter. This must make me a racist.

[andrealim]

There goes their chances of winning the globes when you add Meryl

[theogoldberg]

Meryl knows that there was a Time when you could be subversive, sexist, racist and laugh about it all. Today you are punished by the American Puritanist league of virtue. Fuck that prudishness! I guess she won't disagree with that...

[jbagger]
