She tries to be Meryl Streep


She doesn't look like her, she just tries to be like her. Just like so many actors try to be like Marlon Brando.

No expectations, no disappointments.

She's nothing like Streep in terms of her acting or ambitions or acting style. She's a classical,y trained actress.

reply

Yeah, she only looks like her. Maybe some facial expressions are the same but I think that's just because they stick out.

reply

She looks so much like her esp in ZDT !

reply

Both have high cheekbones and a longish neck and their smiles are similar.

But if you see pictures of her real mother, Rosemary Harris when she was younger, you'd see a very strong resemblance between mother and daughter. Even today they look a lot alike.

Who doesn't try to be the best? We all do. There is no one better than Streep to aspire to.

reply

She tries to be like her by...looking the way she looks?

No, she just looks like her. Something about their mouth-area looks similar.

reply

Bet she doesn't.

reply

She has a much rounder face than Streep. I sort of see it, but I still don't get why the comparison is always made.
