It was a massive, ugly aluminum thing, fully equipped and noticeably larger than the trailers assigned each of the five other actors. No one said a word. Streep made a mental note. By week’s end, the trailer was gone, dis creetly replaced by a more modest one. “That’s pure Meryl,” Pat O’Connor, the di rector of the forthcoming Dancing at Lugh- nasa, says. “She’s so likable, she’s so lacking in fussiness. That trailer bothered her.” When Streep arrives for an interview, there is no pushy entourage or yelping cell phones. In fact, just the opposite. There are times when Streep acts more like a 49-year-old soccer mom who, purely by accident, has stumbled into a career as one of the most revered actors of her generation who has picked up 10 Academy Award nominations, two Oscars, a Tony and an Obie. “People think I know something that I don’t know. They see me as not who I real ly am,” she says. “It’s like I’m now sort of emeritus on some level, you know? Like Stella Adler. But I don’t know anything! And very quickly on they realize this.” Wearing sensible black trousers and a red blazer over a white T-shirt, Streep carefully ponders her responses. Ask about her crafts manship, and you are met with puzzlement. It’s as though she has a guilty conscience, as if at any moment the movie police might break down the door, confiscate her Screen Actors Guild card and frog-march her to the atrical prison. “Look, I really don’t know how people act,” she says. “I feel like I’m just sneak ing by a lot. I have great respect for other actors and really don’t know how they do it. I really don’t. It’s wonderful when you mere cer Tuesc Comr lease of (enneth leachabl Censi Streep see it done right — and that’s what I crave, but I don’t know how people light upon that truth.” Pardon? She’s got to be kidding, right? This is, after all, Meryl Streep confessing to cinematic ignorance. How can this be? “I think sometimes she takes herself by surprise,” O’Connor says, laughing. “She can vanish into a role so far that when she resur faces, she doesn’t know what happened!” True, going deep is a big part of Streep’s reputation. So deep that it’s almost dis tracting. After all, this is an actress who studied both Polish and German five days a week for three months just to do a scene in Sophie’s Choice. She later spent 12 weeks before the film ing of The French Lieutenant’s Woman per fecting a Victorian middle-class accent by reading Jane Austen and George Eliot aloud with a voice coach. And when she signed up for the role of a former white-water rafting guide in The Riv er Wild, Streep actually learned to navigate Class V rapids, the category just below the level deemed unnavigable. Her resume goes on and on like that! Carl Franklin, the director of her latest! One True Thing, says that Streep's awes ability isn’t really about just being read; “She is someone who goes througli the preparation, but I think we’re talk about something beyond that, too. Tha a gift going on: She’s blessed,” he saysLyg 11 ^ “There’s a certain amount of it thatc | a j or itv be attributed to training and preparac u orters and being smart and all of that. Somed \ is just genius.” k-anc To that, the actress just laughs. Therea e ij eve she insists, no geniuses in the StreephoiE ndobsti hold, where she is instead the world ea t s 0 f, mother of four and wife of 20 years tosca aid the' tor Donald Gummer. Besides, she’ssf Acres aware that not everyone adores her. “It very rarely happens that 1 meet so: I one new without them already having opinion about me. I can see them rum through the reel when they meet yon. they think: T just can't stand her! Ikr she’s a good actor, but I just can’t loci her!”’ Streep shrieks in delight. “How do I know that? ... I knowbeca I’ve done the same thing about acton these people that we let into our brainsi our hearts when the movie’s playingin dark. You have a visceral reaction.” And it isn’t always pretty. Streep adi she sometimes gets on people’s nerves! her use of accents, facial mannerismsi self-conscious hand gestures. When critics complain that her pea mances are too technical, too mechanid gripe that the actress reveals nothingoili self in her work — her reply is quite si That’s why it's called acting. “I couldn’t give more than 1 do. Itii that I’ve shown something that I knoi each character and reveal something: only I — only I — know,” Streep says don’t feel like there’s anything mo: could do.” Ai WA Force i: lean ai signed within manita Hav’c day’s v The ducting control see wh emerge palfthc that vvi " tr :cor M0SC ivernm DP&S6TOIMPR&SS comm roc the worn- Party WHITE) if H TICKET STUB Persons with disabilities please call (409)845- ISIS to inform us of your special n notification three (3) working days prior to the event to enable US to assist you abilities Official Copyright of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, foe. 190d AS fUgbtS Re of this production without the written consent of the Potent Pi There is only one original, all others arc considered ebj FOR MORI 1X10.
