Episode notes
Meryl Streep, acting legend and Tony nominee Laurie Metcalf’s stunned witness, nearly quit acting after seeing Metcalf’s powerhouse Broadway performance in “Death of a Salesman”—so moving it made Streep question her own craft. Metcalf’s raw, unrepeatable depth left Streep speechless, contrasting with her own intuitive, feel-based method. This awe follows Streep’s own intense, isolating role as Miranda Priestly in “The Devil Wears Prada,” where she even knit in her trailer to cope. Co-star Emily Blunt recalled being intimidated by Streep’s on-set intensity, a stark contrast to her off-camera warmth. While Streep ponders retirement, her indelible mark on film and theater—and the awe she inspires—remains undeniable.
