Last night, Meryl was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. She gave a brief but lovely taped acceptance speech. Cher also provided a touching tribute. The section on Meryl starts at 06:42.
The previous night, Liam Neeson presented Streep with the Spirit of Ireland at the 2024 Irish Arts Center Gala in New York City. The pair starred as husband and wife in 1996's Before and After, and two years later of course, Meryl starred in Dancing at Lughnasa, which was shot and takes place in County Donegal. I hadn't realized that Meryl's great-great grandparents on her mother's side were from there!
