...Thanks, Jeff, for sharing this heartening news.<br /> <br />This reminds me of one of my favorite Streep interviews in which, along with co-stars Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore, she’s asked about “The Hours.” The excerpt I quote below is from that article titled “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (Newsweek, Dec. 9, 2002). Rereading it in the context of ongoing LGBT struggles and Trump-triggered travails (not to mention other global woes), I see how Meryl’s wise and inspiring response 14 years ago has become even more relevant today.<br /> <br />“Q: At first, this movie is going to look like a downer to some people. How do you think the audience should feel when they leave the theater?<br /> <br />Meryl Streep: […] I hope they have the reaction that I did, which is to feel the sharpness of experience and, you know, how wonderful living is. Even though we walk around whining or in despair or in trouble for different reasons, I thought about just how beautiful it is to love someone and to be in your life. The day-to-dayness of it. The hours. I mean, that’s what I walked away with. I thought about how exquisitely this story is poised between despair and hope. That’s the way a lot of us feel a lot of the time — especially now.”<br /> <br />Thank you, Meryl. And thank you, HRC, for acknowledging Meryl, a great actress and a fine human being.<br /><br />— Danny<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
