Love the interaction between Meryl and Anna. But Meryl so funny the best, and always beautiful.

[@Syuhnebba1]

Lovely Anna and LEGENDARY Meryl. She is timeless

[@beatrizribeiro2417]

Love Meryl's happiness in her reactions to what Anna was saying 😃😁

[@selwin7056]

8:49 The bit about meryl being good looking in 1975.

[@GeloYellow]

I love Anna's reaction to that haha

[@mayanoone507]

I think Anna's nose is alike with Meryl's..the cool Anna Kendrick with the superb Meryl Streep..awesome!

[@EmyNetto]

[@yadeni7334]

Meryl, oh Meryl!

[@CarrotTopCarrotTop]

I love how Anna is saying "goodbye bella" on her jumper. And yes I know ciao means hello as well, but I'm pretty sure she's lovingley flipping off Twilight

[@nesir8]

But doesn't Bella mean beautiful? Then it actually says "Goodbye/Hello Beautiful"

[@CarrotTopCarrotTop]

You are absolutely right, but Anna would have seen the irony in it and it is deff a wink at Twilight too.

[@EigramGn]

Carrot Top Or she could be referencing Pitch Perfect and the Barden Bellas :>

[@sophietpana]

Carrot Top I think she's just wearing a jumper haha

[@CarrotTopCarrotTop]

I still love the irony, lol

[@JLF18]

[@TheatreofSymphony]

[@bisgurlll]

I never really noticed how much they all say ‘you know’ while explaining things....

[@halo67994]

[@davidrossifernandez7551]

esTuve soldando indiferenciabilidad

[@sophiegoodman7683]

[@davidrossifernandez7551]

las manos de una maestra con el borrador i la tiza en pocos años se modifican

[@superflyTv94]

The Bernadette piece? She means the one with Brandy? That would be cool.

[@musicman7416]

No, she means Bernadette peters. She played the witch in the original broadway version.
The Brandy piece you're talking about it Rogers and Hammersteins Cinderella starring whitney houston.
Bernadette peters also plays cinderella's step mother in The Rogers and Hammerstein piece.

[@CarrotTopCarrotTop]

I havent seen Meryl play it yet, but it's going to be a big task to beat Bernadette

[@rikawiththefunnyfits561]

Period meryl streep ❤

[@miggio0]

watching this was like watching someone fart in slow motion and the butt cheeks ripple.

[@zellerzlovesyouuu]

where is sondheim during these press conferences

[@CarrotTopCarrotTop]

He had a major flu, he sent a letter that Meryl read out at another press conference to apologise.

[@zellerzlovesyouuu]

aw okayy

[@zellerzlovesyouuu]

Carrot Top aw okay

[@sarahkenney2571]

What does anna mean by no I've done it

[@MisterBlueButterfly]

Sarah Karyne Kenney Look at Meryl's expression.

[@maryloupiron3068]

i still don’t get it x)

[@kristaleighy]

She said now I've done it, meaning Meryl felt old from Anna saying she was 10 when she first saw it.

[@mujunicarmel2066]

You Tube is the best
