Meryl Streep is finally having her say after 34 years.
Meryl Streep has enjoyed a remarkably successful career in Hollywood, lasting over five decades. Widely considered one of the greatest actresses of her generation, she’s known for her incredible range and holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations with 21. She first received an Oscar nomination for her role in the 1978 film The Deer Hunter, and won her first Academy Award the following year for Best Supporting Actress in Kramer vs. Kramer.
Meryl Streep recently discussed potential sequels to two of her famous films in an interview with Vanity Fair. She talked about possibly returning as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2, and also revisited the cult classic Death Becomes Her. She also addressed rumors of a disagreement with her Death Becomes Her co-star, Goldie Hawn. The 1992 film, which also starred Bruce Willis, didn’t do well when it first came out, but has become popular again recently. Streep revealed that she and Hawn had some friction while filming.
We had a really good time, and Goldie Hawn has the most infectious laugh – she’s genuinely hilarious. However, the visual effects work wasn’t enjoyable. Goldie was often late to set, but she was so charming it didn’t matter. I, on the other hand, am always punctual, maybe even a little too much so.
She was late, and I recall she drove a red convertible to work herself. That was likely the issue. She was always a bit messy with her hair, and she’d apologize, which everyone found endearing. I didn’t always get along with her, but I truly loved her and consider her a close friend.
The film Death Becomes Her centers on Helen and Madeline, two competitive women played by Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep, who consume a potion guaranteeing everlasting youth. Their rivalry intensifies as they compete for the same man, Ernest, and after both die, they find themselves undead. They must maintain their bodies to avoid decaying, leading to increasingly absurd situations. Released over 30 years ago, the movie powerfully critiques the societal pressures that force women to compete based on appearance, a message that remains relevant today.
The popular fantasy horror film earned $149 million globally, but critics gave it a lukewarm reception with a 58% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, the movie Death Becomes Her won an Academy Award for its innovative visual effects and was later adapted into a successful Broadway musical, receiving 10 Tony Award nominations.
Goldie Hawn first became famous in the 1960s and has since enjoyed a successful career as an actress, producer, and director. She won both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her role in the 1969 film Cactus Flower, and starred in popular movies like Foul Play, Overboard, and The First Wives Club. Hawn is also well-known for her long-lasting relationship with Kurt Russell, and together they have a famous family including children Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, and Wyatt Russell.
Even today, people love Death Becomes Her for its hilariously exaggerated performances and wildly entertaining story.
