First look at Streep in "Big Little Lies"

Nicole Kidman posted a photo to her Instagram that includes our first look at Meryl in character as Mary Louise Wright on the set of Big Little Lies.

A post shared by Nicole Kidman (@nicolekidman) on

Meryl of course plays mom to the late Perry Wright, who was portrayed by Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd in the first season. She comes to Monterey concerned for the well-being of her twin grandsons. Kidman's character, Celeste, of course plays their mom.  

I have to admit that Meryl's look here is dowdier than I had expected. I thought she'd maybe look super duper posh. It's hard to tell from one photo, though. I maintain that Meryl's character will be an abused person as well, as that behavior is almost always learned. Maybe Perry's father was the same way toward Mary Louise as Perry was to Celeste?  Great character to watch Meryl unfold!

  2. I had the pre-notion of her character as a wealthy upscale-living lady so somehow that hairdo just doesn't gel....oh well, it's too early to gauge anyway. David.

    1. I love it. A kindly grandmother look but looks can be deceiving I guess.
