Honestly I think she misunderstood 'audition' as 'addition' bc Graham kinda said it like that. Only after he mentioned the movie and the role, she said 'ooh audition, yes, yes'. But the way she handled it and the humor in her expression that she added so effortlessly was top-notch!
She's done a ton of great work and I love her. But do you remember the River Wild? Meryl Streep action star!! Meryl, David Strathairn, Kevin Bacon, John C Reilly It was a genuine attempt to make women action stars and get paid like the men.
No, the American president feels she's overrated and he enjoys insulting her. Lukcily we all know Streep can handle his petty attempts at bringing her down.
James Bond It was partially a joke. Of course this alone isn't a reason to learn a language. But it's awesome when this happens or when you encounter someone who speaks it in general. And it's far from being the only use of a language. Also you don't need a lifetime, a few years is enough for basic communication. And did you see I said "kids"? =P
star badger Ecco il nostro vincitore! complimenti! "he was a bloody ugly Italian" al contrario voi siete tutti stupendi e perfetti, certo. MI DISPIACE MOLTO che questa sia la tua idea degli italiani. certo, abbiamo dei difetti (come tutti) e potremmo non essere il paese più "potente" del mondo ma restiamo comunque un grande paese anche se, dopo quello che hai scritto, non meriteresti neanche di conoscerlo. E adesso traduci e impara una lingua diversa come fa il resto del mondo.
She is actually crying as she retells this story. I was floored by that. An Actress of Streep's stature can still be moved to tears that many years later, Truely, success is the best revenge.
+Paul Dante yeah, but after she was rejected, she went out and became the greatest actress known to mankind. i don't think she's sorry she wasn't in King Kong
jon snow J.S. It sounds like you have forgotten the unmatched talent of Julie Strain. If it is a refresher course you require to weigh her immense talent, Then I suggest you watch "The Bare Wench Project" or "Bikini Hotel." Meryl Streep INDEED!
I swear she has very little ego. A talk show host once asked her about memorizing lines of dialogue and she remarked she was very good at it at one time. The host asked her if she still was and without hesitating she exclaimed "Oh no, menopause took care of that!" She's just so natural and unassuming. No vanity or fear of aging at all.
Whether he is or not was not the point. The point is it seemed like an uncommon match considering his wife does not look like her. The point is that in spite of it all, he thinks she is gorgeous and is not afraid of what his wife or anyone thinks. Once again, I want to reiterate this is not about Obama, but instead about Meryl. Bush is not an illegal, but he has done illegal things in the White house that should have gotten him impeached. Either way, I don't like either of them. They have both been terrible presidents, even though Obama is still in office. I can't blame them because they are only puppets, and their puppet masters prefer to remain faceless.
Well said. People want to take away from him as if he is lesser than. He has been through extensive schooling in Harvard Law School. He earned his way to his position, and can at least formulate a sentence, unlike Bush.
***** It isn't a "fact of the matter" it's a crazy nutty conspiracy laden view of yours driven by an undercurrent of bigotry....He is patriotic and does love his country..he's just you know...an evil socialist commie fascist kenyan Muslim antichrist according to you freaks...Thankfully the nation rejected your ideas and saw them for what they were...hate...so he was reelected and we don't give a fuck what you think or your sister wife..*shrugs...you lost bitch!
It's impressive when people get so shocked by the anecdote, and that reaction just lasts a couple of seconds because we all know everything has turned out fantastically well for her
I think it's soon after that that he makes a remark that's so flattering to her that she grabs him and kisses him on the mouth. Great moment, find the clip of it, or entire episode, to see it.
It's funny how flexible beauty standards are over time. I remember at that time, in the late 70s, beautiful and blonde in Hollywood meant Farrah Fawcett, Suzanne Somers, and Christie Brinkley, and when Meryl came along, she seemed offbeat. People actually talked about it. I look back now at Manhattan or Kramer Vs. Kramer and think, "Good God!!! What were we all thinking? She's gorgeous!!!" She still is. Dino, Sr. was an idiot for sure. But I think at that time Hollywood beauty standards were narrower.
She's beautiful and has a unique look and that is something that nobody can take away from her and I look up to her and admire her so much for not succumbing to the pressures of Hollywood and getting plastic surgery
Well it's interesting since both of them were probably considered a lot of times for the same roles. But still, they became two of the most celebrated and amazinb actresses of all time.
jokc7179 well meryl streep had the edge in terms of versatility,popularity and longevity,even amongst their peers,meryl is more love,admire,respected,majority male or female wants a career like meryl,even mery's personal life is better than jessica.
***** Jessica Lange is respected, but "just as" much as Streep? Listen, Jessica is a great actress but playing aged women in the same series run by the guy who created Glee isn't exactly the same thing as churning out Oscar-nominated work every year. Let's be reasonable here.
It all happens for a reason! Jessica Lange was truly the best choice to play the part. Now she is also a gorgeous, award winning and very talented actress. Oh and I bet when Meryl answered in Italian Dino was scared shitless hahaha.
+Evija3000 Actually, Jessica Lange has won 2 Oscars, so your sarcasm is not apropos. And, with all due respect to Streep and her amazing talent, and with all disapproval to DeLaurentis behavior, for movie like "King Kong" Lange was perfect and much more suitable, than Streep.
tp6685 It wasn't sarcasm. It was a rather straightforward joke pointing to the fact that she does have less Oscars than Meryl, which in a somewhat subjective way implies that she's not as amazing. They're both really great though. And now you made me explain the joke... =P C'mon. Not everything is an insult in the comments.
+Evija3000 I'm afraid i should upset you, but there has been absolutely no need in all your enormous efforts by explaining this joke. Because, first, it is REALLY straightforward, and, second, nothing in your explanation prevents your joke of being sarcasm. Basically, it sounds like "It wasn't sarcasm. It was a rather straightforward sarcasm". So, you should really learn more, young padawan.
You could say she has a distinct look and may not be for everyone, but she's beautiful nonetheless. . . And one of the few gracefully aged actors without a surgical looking face!
Funny how the role in "King Kong" was given to Jessica Lange. Her and Streep would win Oscars in the same year! (Lange for "Tootsie" and Streep for "Sophie's Choice")
Then when I found out Jessica Lange was picked over her...I was like damn. I love them both though! Jessica is amazing on AHS while Meryl is a legend in the movies!
I'm never tired of seeing Meryl telling what happened with Dino De Laurentiis. I find it's wondrful to see her do anything. I never get tired of her. I attest that she's a great person.
+Daniel SF-MB Yes... a great person who began to tell this story when Dino De Laurentiis had one foot already in the coffin (his son died at 26, a few years after that audition)... I like the acting of Meryl Streep, as always, and the first time I heard this story I was very sorry, but now it would also be time to stop! -.- Everyone has had bad experiences in life... no need to repeat this anecdote on tv... especially because the people involved are all DEATH and not have a chance to respond.
Cain Nuke Who cares what a person looks like? If you value looks more than personality then get ready for unhappiness. Btw, he saw Meryl before Jessica. Meryl is still beautiful. To each his own I guess, but 2 people can be pretty at the same time.
I wonder what else was said during that conversation. Once he realized Meryl understood Italian. Pretty harsh of him to say. Glad she didn't let comments like that stop her. She's amazing. Fantastic actress and she's beautiful. Not ugly at all.
Watching her hilarious reaction "no!" 0:15 , I keep thinking that it would be interesting to see her in a scene or film with Carol Burnett. Her quick serious reaction to Mr. Norton's question, the raising of eyebrows, reminded me of Carol Burnett.
I used to run into Mark Ruffalo all the time in Upstate. Dude is seriously one of the most chill, cool guys you could meet. Smooth af too, apparently 🤣
The way she said "no" at 0:14 - Oscar nomination right there
FearlessStar1000 I know right, lol.. even graham has that "Oh shit I'm fucked!" look for a second XD
FearlessStar1000 Lol...yes. I believe I've seen that expression in two different movies of hers. Great catch!
FearlessStar1000 and Winner for best celebrity guest in a talk show appearance goes to....MERLY STREEP!!
Miranda Priestly moment
Honestly I think she misunderstood 'audition' as 'addition' bc Graham kinda said it like that. Only after he mentioned the movie and the role, she said 'ooh audition, yes, yes'. But the way she handled it and the humor in her expression that she added so effortlessly was top-notch!
"sorry im not beautiful ENOUGH to be in KING KONG" love her sm
She's ugly.
Puneeth Venkatrao - so is your mother.
@@puneethvenkatrao332 get a life sweetie
Love her!!!!
@@puneethvenkatrao332 check your eyes pls
I love Meryl, she carries herself with such poise and elegance. What I love even more about her is that she has a sense of humour.
She's done a ton of great work and I love her. But do you remember the River Wild? Meryl Streep action star!! Meryl, David Strathairn, Kevin Bacon, John C Reilly
It was a genuine attempt to make women action stars and get paid like the men.
Isn't it against the law to insult Meryl Streep?
+rydeentertainment well it should be! ;)
+rydeentertainment I think it's more along the lines of blasphemy :-)
rydeentertainment.... Not in the 70's. She was a nobody then
Thomas Fleig yes she was she was a Meryl Streep
No, the American president feels she's overrated and he enjoys insulting her.
Lukcily we all know Streep can handle his petty attempts at bringing her down.
And that kids is why you should learn languages =]
More like you SHOULDN'T learn languages...I wouldn't have wanted to know someone called me ugly, but that's just my opinion..
Honey Bunny .... because ignorance is bliss?
James Bond It was partially a joke. Of course this alone isn't a reason to learn a language.
But it's awesome when this happens or when you encounter someone who speaks it in general. And it's far from being the only use of a language.
Also you don't need a lifetime, a few years is enough for basic communication.
And did you see I said "kids"? =P
James Bond True.
Double the reason to not take it seriously.
James Bond "hence, why..."? Lol maybe you should re-learn the English language.
The guy was blind, she was beautiful when she was young. And she still is.

That's a copy/paste for what purpose exactly?
That is, of course, opinion. Some people think she looks pretty, others think she looks ugly. Opinion.
Yeah, but an opinion, when mean, should be kept for yourself, but it's just my opinion ;)

"Meryl Streep can play Batman and still be the perfect choice!"
Only Modern Family fans will get the reference!
Right* choice
Anyone's better than George Clooney.
Im glad somebody remembers
I c u cam
She is so naturally beautiful
Hannah O'Sullivan I think what maker so beautiful is how gracious her manerisms are. Such an elegant lady.
***** What are you talking about? People who have worked with Meryl said she was very humble and easy to work with.
Jackie Paper You can literally google it. Don't be so closed minded.
She is actually crying as she retells this story. I was floored by that. An Actress of Streep's stature can still be moved to tears that many years later, Truely, success is the best revenge.
+Paul Dante
yeah, but after she was rejected, she went out and became the greatest actress known to mankind. i don't think she's sorry she wasn't in King Kong
jon snow "The Greatest Actor Known To Mankind?" Come on. Me thinks Jon Snow gets weak in the knees at the sight of a woman's tears.
Paul Dante many experts and critics consider her the best actress. and when it comes to acting skill, she's unmatched.
jon snow J.S. It sounds like you have forgotten the unmatched talent of Julie Strain. If it is a refresher course you require to weigh her immense talent, Then I suggest you watch "The Bare Wench Project" or "Bikini Hotel." Meryl Streep INDEED!
jon snow Meryl Streep is a hack. She's not fit to carry Jessica Lang's panties.
Hurtful and rude of him to say that. She's a tough lady with class but I could tell it hurt her when she spoke about it.
Mark Buffalo is looking at her with so much admiration !She deserves it. She's the greatest !
I'm never going to be able to call him anything else but "Mark Buffalo" from now on 😂
@@ron8675309 oh god I can't even remember writing that comment 😭
@Edward89 yeah...
Mark Bovine!
Not only she is the best, she speaks italian and can laugh at herself! She is one of a kind! What Hollywood should be ❤️
I swear she has very little ego. A talk show host once asked her about memorizing lines of dialogue and she remarked she was very good at it at one time. The host asked her if she still was and without hesitating she exclaimed "Oh no, menopause took care of that!" She's just so natural and unassuming. No vanity or fear of aging at all.
She speaks Italian poorly. In Bridges she still sounded Slavic.
Many american artist speak and understand italian lengoage
Her delivery is everything. Love Meryl Streep
It's ironic because even now President Obama says he has a huge crush on her.
I think you meant to say the illegal president obuma got a crush on King Kong!
Whether he is or not was not the point. The point is it seemed like an uncommon match considering his wife does not look like her. The point is that in spite of it all, he thinks she is gorgeous and is not afraid of what his wife or anyone thinks. Once again, I want to reiterate this is not about Obama, but instead about Meryl. Bush is not an illegal, but he has done illegal things in the White house that should have gotten him impeached. Either way, I don't like either of them. They have both been terrible presidents, even though Obama is still in office. I can't blame them because they are only puppets, and their puppet masters prefer to remain faceless.
Well said. People want to take away from him as if he is lesser than. He has been through extensive schooling in Harvard Law School. He earned his way to his position, and can at least formulate a sentence, unlike Bush.

He was listening to her

Literally everyone you mentioned would still be considered prettier than Meryl Streep.
Even tho Maryll is brilliant I must add that those actresses were more beautiful. Meryll was always amazing actress not striking beauty.
Meryl should be nominated every time she speaks, it's always an amazing performance :)
eh, the son had good taste. it was more about the power struggle between him and his father and beautiful meryl was the casualty
She's beautiful and has a unique look and that is something that nobody can take away from her and I look up to her and admire her so much for not succumbing to the pressures of Hollywood and getting plastic surgery
Didn't Jessica Lange get the role Meryl was talking about??
Yes she did.
Yes, and went on to greater things in spite of it!
Well it's interesting since both of them were probably considered a lot of times for the same roles. But still, they became two of the most celebrated and amazinb actresses of all time.

I get such a kick out of Meryl's humor, and her storytelling chops!
She is just pure class. Extraordinary person.
I'm Italian and let me say that Meryl has a great pronunciation 🤩! To this day I had no idea that she knew Italian, she's the best!!
I love this woman, she is so versatile, she deserved so many more awards than she's received. Just amazing.
Her two phrases in Italian are wonderful. So sweet.
It all happens for a reason! Jessica Lange was truly the best choice to play the part. Now she is also a gorgeous, award winning and very talented actress. Oh and I bet when Meryl answered in Italian Dino was scared shitless hahaha.
Poor thing at least she got over it. Good comeback too Meryl!

i love that she's always been herself. lady of many talents
literally gasped when she translated what he said, no way! She has always been beautiful!
Her face is so high class and elegant, especially in her prime years.
THE WAY SHE SAYS “KING KONG” gives me life
It reminds me of Miranda Presley 😂😂
Into her 60s and Miss Streep still radiates beauty!
Funny how the role in "King Kong" was given to Jessica Lange. Her and Streep would win Oscars in the same year! (Lange for "Tootsie" and Streep for "Sophie's Choice")
Business people: *Disses Meryl Streep in Italian*
Meryl Streep: *Understands Italian*
Business people: 👁👄👁
Meryl Streep was a real stunner when she was younger. Ridiculous that anyone would've called her ugly
Although, they cast Jessica Lange who is and was a truly exceptional and rare beauty
such an elegant, talented, and beautiful woman.
Then when I found out Jessica Lange was picked over her...I was like damn. I love them both though! Jessica is amazing on AHS while Meryl is a legend in the movies!
So is Jessica
She's got 2 Oscars
She just didn't have the privilege to keep working in film past her 60s, as the rest of mature actresses who aren't Meryl Streep
She is GORGEOUS!!🥰
Meryl is THE BEST actress of all time!!! When will you have Julianne Moore and Rosamund Pike on your show? Please answer..
both Julianne Moore and Rosamund Pike have appeared on Graham's show before. just search their interview here on youtube and you will find it
basboosa Thank you, but a new interview beacause of the Golden Globes.. :)
Vladimir Janic Well there you go, Julianne is coming next.
That's right MERYL is the best acter in the world I love she. She's so funny an beautiful!
I love Meryl Streep - She is funny.. with her manners.. that is what I love about her.. she is NOT Pretentious.. and tells it like it is! LOL
She is a genious!
No, she is jeanious
No, she is a genealogist
She's so beautiful and she speaks so gently.
‘I’m sorry I’m not pretty enough to be in KING KONG’ this is so funny 😂
a legend, one of the greatest actresses of ALL TIME. LOVE
she is the best
Graham has the super power of getting the best stories.

Meryl is a Queen. Love her!
She's beautiful, I bet they're kicking themselves that they didn't cast her!
my favourite actress ever!
That star power tho. Everyone's so super silent when Meryl is speaking.
Streep is funny and down to earth
Even her story telling is Oscar worthy!
She is amazing and stunning
She is okay but compared to Jessica Lange almost ANY women on this earth would have been considered ugly. She was just PERFECT.
Cain Nuke Who cares what a person looks like? If you value looks more than personality then get ready for unhappiness. Btw, he saw Meryl before Jessica. Meryl is still beautiful. To each his own I guess, but 2 people can be pretty at the same time.
Kat Kattington
we care because here we are talking about LOOKS so anything else is irrelevant to the discussion.
Cain Nuke He didn't have to call her ugly right in front of her (even though he didn't know she knew Italian but still).
Cain Nuke and yet today Lange looks like a dog compared to Streep.
@@sjcohen4444 Fair enough. Meryl had proved to be agelessly beautiful. Some folks just have those genes.
This talented and beautiful woman never fails to disappoint.
She's still beautiful but back then she was gorgeous.
Full of beauty, full of class ❤❤❤
okay give her an Oscar for that 0:14 performance it was awesome...
An iconic moment, an iconic woman and actress
She was known not only of her talent but also she was "the face of the 80's"
True, but not a 'beautiful' face, just a recognizable one.
Meryl Streep was strikingly beautiful in her youth. You need to look up some of her photos. She’s still a beauty today IMHO.
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
I love meryl streep such an amazing actress.
AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER!
Why is everything about this lady so out of the world and breathtaking.
He must have been blind. One of her first roles was as Inga Weiss in the mini series Holocaust and she was and is beautiful .
Agree! Strikingly beautiful!
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
@00:14
The way she said "no" with authority.. Great
If someone thinks Meryl Streep is ugly, there's no hope for any of us 😳 She's gorgeous!
0:14 I love it when Meryl does this - reminds me of that oscars bit Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt did and how Meryl played along so perfectly.
Dancing Queen 👑 she is gorgeous! 👏
Meryl is so pure. Brilliant.
A daily reminder to people that even the biggest stars today faced a lot of rejection and disappointments before. Truly inspirational
Such a good actress, in so many different roles, and her sex appeal, just jumps out of the screen, she is beautiful in so many ways.
Meryl Streep is so classy and amazing . The way she talks and moves is so beautiful and elegant . Elegance in her so great
I wonder what else was said during that conversation. Once he realized Meryl understood Italian. Pretty harsh of him to say. Glad she didn't let comments like that stop her. She's amazing. Fantastic actress and she's beautiful. Not ugly at all.
Her derisive delivery of " King Kong " at 1:33 is hilarious! Che culo, Delaurentis!
She is just the nicest and most authentic person in this business, I don't know her, but I'm sure of that. Love this woman 💪♥️
I love this woman!
Magnificent Meryl! I love her!
THE WAY SHE SAID KING KONG THOUGH
Meryl streep she BEAUTIFUL and beyond she is amazing
That's why I love her!!!
Watching her hilarious reaction "no!" 0:15 , I keep thinking that it would be interesting to see her in a scene or film with Carol Burnett. Her quick serious reaction to Mr. Norton's question, the raising of eyebrows, reminded me of Carol Burnett.

Perfect for King Kong.
I used to run into Mark Ruffalo all the time in Upstate. Dude is seriously one of the most chill, cool guys you could meet. Smooth af too, apparently 🤣
I💖him!!!
Regardless how you feel about her "looks", there's no denying the woman is ageing gracefully and looks GREAT
This is the type of woman that you fall in love with no matter what age she is or you are, she is lovely!
Meryl Streep is one of the best conversationists I've ever seen.
She was great in Into the Woods.
shes aged so beautifully one of the rare celebrities to not use plastic surgery
I agree 100%!
that burn. does meryll even do anything short of excellently?
ME GUSTA JESSICA ME GUSTA STREEP Y ME GUSTA LA PELÍCULA... Y PUNTO.
Saludos amigos desde Costa Rica.
She is incredibly beautiful!!
Mark looks mesmerized by Meryl :)
Omg are you kidding me!! She was pretty when she was younger I cannot believe he would say that that is freaking wth
There is nothing she can't do! 😍
