Meryl Streep Talks Private Guitar Lesson from Neil Young & More on TONIGHT
Sony Pictures’ “Ricki and the Flash” premiered in New York on Monday night, with stars Meryl Streep, Mamie Gummer and Rick Springfield.
Just the tiniest bit intimidating, but the two have met before, at the New York Screening of the Neil Young: Heart of Gold concert film (also directed by Jonathan Demme).
Gummer plays Julie, Ricki’s daughter, who is on the verge of a psychotic breakdown and spends most of the movie in her pajamas and refusing to shower.
Mamie Gummer, Meryl Streep’s 32-year-old daughter, is dishing on what it’s like working with her award-winning mother. The Oscar-winner learned how to play guitar for the film and took her performance sequences with co-star Rick Springfield and the band, which were all filmed live, very serious. “She came up with the idea of having dark eyes and no lips, which is not usually the choice of women getting older, but she’s so character driven”, says Mazur. “It was great to work with my daughter! But I think other people have corroborated that [she’s] talented, so it’s [been] really fun”.
But what she does in most movie she spread the dust of her Streep seems in -ness over actually probably the programs that are banal.
“There was no point in my life that I felt abandoned”. SOUNDBITE Mamie Gummer saying (English): “I think I always knew that she was a wonderful human being, but I also saw it first hand and I saw her exercise this incredible respect for everyone on set”.
The musical dramedy, which opens on Friday, had a budget of $18 million, and shot for six weeks in Westchester previous year. Everyone has moved on and no one is afraid to tell her that.
