    She embodies femininity and motherhood. She has a special humanity, tenderness and brightness. I guess that's what makes her the unique actress she is.
    Of course, as everybody else she is not 'perfect' , but she has indeed a unique warm brightness, so that she never seems to be "playing" her roles, it feels as if she just lets her humanity give them life, so that the wooden Pinocchio becomes a flesh and blood child, every time..
    I'm so surprised nobody ever gave her in any movie or play the role of Mary.
    Or even of Maria Maddalena.
    I'd love to see her in one of the two. She's a great, as Fabrizio De Andrè in music is (for any italian): blessed people with a sharp brain and even bigger heart, who give gifts for life to us, with their Art❤⁰

    Streep's reluctance to come on the show may have been caused by a sketch on Letterman. There was a sketch on new books in the 80s. One of the books was about adjectives you can use to describe Meryl Streep. It was followed up by a remark from Letterman about how Meryl Streep was less than a conventional beauty or words to that effect. It's theoretically possible this sketch could have rubbed Streep the wrong way.

      Possibly, but Meryl never did Carson, Leno or Arsenio Hall either. She also never did a Phil Donahue interview or Barbara Walters and her first Oprah appearance was promoting Marvin’s Room, which she did with Robert De Niro in 1997, so I think it was more that it was just considered forbidden in those days for film actors to appear on television which didn’t change until the late 90s.

      It wasn't the 1st or last time that Letterman has offended someone in show business. He had a reputation back then for being an 'A-hole' to his guests. Cher once called him an 'A-hole' right to his face when she came on his show.

      Well obviously not true as there's countless stories of quite the opposite, there must be more context that's missing or people took things she said the wrong way.

    Letterman always talked too much. Compare this to Carson with a similar guest.

    Long time David Letterman fan here, but he really blew this interview, SO many cringe moments, and they just kept coming. Meryl did great putting up with the ridiculous questions.
