Just before the Beatles Show begins at the Shea Stadium in august 1965, a group of fans is interviewed and we can see on the left the young Meryl Streep aged 16.
Hahhaahh, she actually was great, though. She had this quiet knowing that the guy was just trying to cause trouble with them, get them to say something "controversial" or whatever.
I love how she jumps in the interview when he asked if the Beatles were on there way out and she says " no" . Her instincts seem to have guided her right through out her life.
I saw the Grammy Awards when she presented an award to Paul. Maybe we cand find it on youtube. She informed us she had been to Shea Stadium to see the Beatles. She was carrying a banner or maybe using a bottom written ' I love you Paul". That's why she was so thrilled to give that award to him. Paul said something nice as " I remember you there. You were the prettiest...." something like that. Sure he could not remember. Only being Mr Nice guy. Wow. Beautiful story.,
Ok, the thing that makes me think this is Meryl Streep, is if you look over the left shoulder of the boy being interviewed in the second clip you see only the bottom portion of her face. There's no way that mouth and chin belong to anyone but her. And I watched the Grammy awards the night she presented McCartney his award and she was very flustered. I still have it on tape. She was definitely a fan.
Yep, I know it's from the '66 concert. The Beatles were coming off the "more popular than Jesus" remark and this reporter was trying to get kids to say they were tired of the Beatles. He finally found a dopey little kid who said they liked Herman's Hermits better. It was in the Anthology series. It would've been foolish to have said the Beatles were on their way out at the '65 show which was about to be the biggest in history up to that point. I'd like to see other footage of Meryl at that time. How much exists and where did you see it?
I don't think she's Meryl because in that year she was like 16, so she was in high school and she was blonde, also, if you look in the second clip when you can she the girl's full face it isn't Meryl
@@anjanaiglesias6180 Wow, Meryl Streep herself has already confirmed this footage is in fact, her, I mean by this point that's common knowledge and my God! Just use your eyes! If you don't think that's Meryl, even without her own confirmation then you are blind.
Meryl Streep has said she went to 1965 Shea Stadium concert. You can Google it and hear her saying it. But the problem is the description on this video is wrong. This apparently isn't the 65 concert like it says. This is the 66 concert as everyone seems to know when that reporter did this. Lol.
I have just found the night she Honoured him in Grammy Awards, 1990. She tells the whole story. Very touching. Beautiful moment for us who love The Bealtes and admires this great actress. She really went to that concert in 66.
This was just after John’s Jesus remarks and you can see how this reporter was trying to put poison down by trying to drag them down. Fortunately none of the fans were falling for it. Good for them.
Meryl said on the Jimmy Kimmel show that she went to a Beatles concert in 1965. In The Beatles Anthology they present these interviews as being from 1966.
So, Meryl Streep interviewed at the Beatles concert at Shea Stadium in 1965. Her first time on film. You have a valuable bit of film there, gapont2. I'd copyright it, or whatever you do to claim ownership. And, insure it and keep the original in a safe. Seriously. Meryl Streep is gonna go down in history as the most important actress of her time. The Beatles as the most important band. You've got a piece of history, there.
Meanwhile, Sigourney Weaver was at their performance in the Hollywood Bowl that same year. Hell, a young Teri Garr was a backup dancer on The T.A.M.I. Show! She can be seen wearing a bullseye shirt while The Supremes were on stage.
Yeah, gapont2, I was just away Googling to see if she did mention the concert. She did indeed. You're right. The Beatles Shea Stadium concert was in August, 1965. When Meryl presented Paul McCartney with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 1990, she mentioned she was there. Here is the RUclips clip of her stating that: watch?v=EE64bGzV2M0 So, that's her in your clip. No way in Hell it's another 16 year old girl that just happens to look and sound like Meryl Streep. It's definitely her.
That is definitley her!! At 17 secs, u can see half her face, but thats the shot that sold me. Same smile. And another thing- reporter should have interviewed Meryl. If only he knew who she would be...lol i bet he'd love to interview her now.
that is meryl.if you look at old pictures of her,as someone above did provide,there was one where meryl is a teen or a pre-teen.that picture was her freshman yearbook photo,you can find it on the meryl streep forum,it wasnt until her sophmore year that she dyed her hair blonde.her natural colors are both brown and red,she was both.that is her,however,because she states in the video where she pays tribute to paul mccartney,that in 1965 she begged to be allowed to go into NYC to see them at shea.
That smile at :16.. come on. .Nobody else smiles the way Meryl Streep does, how could there be any question? it's less apparent when she's in front during the girl's interview, but when she's in the background, she looks as Meryl as ever, no question.
This wasn't the 1965 Shea Stadium appearance .This is their second one. Also...If you look at pictures of Meryl Streep as a child, she doesn't look anything like that. Her hair was very blonde and she was thinner than that girl. Also? This is a very famous interview, so if it really were Meryl, she would have spoken up about it by now.
I think she bleached her hair when she was in 8th,9th,or 10th grade. Because she wanted to be like other beautiful girls in her school. (Not so sure. I forgot about that story on a book about her)
When Meryl presented the Grammy award to Paul McCartney in 1990, she said she went to see the Beatles in New York, in August, 1965. She said she could hardly see the stage, that she remembers them running across the grass to the stage. So, she's definitely talking about their Shea Stadium concert - watch?v=EE64bGzV2M0 It's her in this clip. There's no question. Look at her nose/mouth area at around :16 .....it's identical to the way she looks today. The debate is closed, it's her.
I'm pretty sure this would be 1966. The interviewer is talking about the Beatle craze being on the way out. There was something like a third of the seats empty as opposed to the year before, where it was a full house. I've seen other interviews like this with fans at the ' 66 Shea gig where the interviewer is venturing the same thing.
omg! ofc it's meryl! you can see that on her smile and her eyes and ofc her nose! she is so cute and so beautiful! why didn't the man interviewed her, he should have done that!:-)
There is a video here which has a bunch of home movies and videos of Meryl growing up. This is in there. Check it out. Also quite conceivable that that guy is her brother Harry. He resembles him.
It's Meryl Streep, all right, about 6 years before she entered Yale Drama School and then became perhaps the best actress of her generation. Of course, all that was in the future during that brief moment when a star-struck Meryl stood silent and let her girlfriend grab the spotlight. Who knew?
this is 1966, after Lennon's 'We're Bigger Than Jesus' thing. The reporter is asking leading questions, trying to get people to give up the Beatles. The so-called 'Libral Media!' lol.
It's true she died her hair blonde in her late teens, & attended the Shea Stadium concert. But was she a bit chubby in her early teens? If so, this could be her..... or a relative!
Jeffrey Pierce, She didn't have blond hair as a child, and she doesn't have blond hair now. She has dyed her hair for ages. So this brunette is easily Meryl.
I think it's her. You can tell more at about :17 onward. The question is, has she ever mentioned she went to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium?? It seems to me it would be something she would have mentioned, at least once, in the countless interviews she's given.
This is actually from the 1966 Shea Stadium concert (which didn't sell out like the year before, possibly because of the "bigger than Jesus" comment, and also that they were playing concerts in D.C. and Boston the same tour).
That is NOT Meryl Streep. There are many of her high school photos online proving it’s not her. Meryl was very blond throughout high school, with the same thin face she had in the years following.
One more comment, the girl being interviewed has a NY, Brooklyn accent. MS grew up in Central New Jersey I believe. So she is with a friend who lives in Brooklyn, not a friend from NJ? Looks like her though...
It is 1966, not 65. See the campaign against the Beatles made by the reporter because of the Jesus Christ quote. The guy did what he could to let people think the Beatles were finished. In vain. It is a long time this video is here, others has infomed the date is wrong. Gregoire Pont...would you please change it?
No way that's Meryl Streep. The girl mildly resembles her. Meryl was at Shea in '65. The interview said this interview happened in '66, when The Beatles returned.
i think it's her. Look at her movies where she's a brunette like in Silkwood or Marvin's Room. That's young Karen Silkwood or young Lee. I think it is .
And the Oscar for " Best Beatle Fan In A Non Speaking Role " goes to.....
She actually said ‘no’ at 0:12 lol
Hahhaahh, she actually was great, though. She had this quiet knowing that the guy was just trying to cause trouble with them, get them to say something "controversial" or whatever.
I hope by now after 10 years you caught on it's not her :0
I love how she jumps in the interview when he asked if the Beatles were on there way out and she says " no" . Her instincts seem to have guided her right through out her life.
Thats not her
@@andressotoparra4486 She said she was at the Concert!
This young guy nails it in his answers...
I just saw Meryl on ET talking about this clip and confirming that it was her. Just so everyone knows.
Indy Guitar Instructor Uh, no, the interviewer said she said that this isn't her.....
Can someone send the link to that video?
oooh can anyone send the link?
Without a doubt, that is a young Meryl Streep!
BS that is not Meryl Streep
I saw the Grammy Awards when she presented an award to Paul. Maybe we cand find it on youtube. She informed us she had been to Shea Stadium to see the Beatles. She was carrying a banner or maybe using a bottom written ' I love you Paul". That's why she was so thrilled to give that award to him. Paul said something nice as " I remember you there. You were the prettiest...." something like that. Sure he could not remember. Only being Mr Nice guy. Wow. Beautiful story.,
I remember it as 'Love you forever, Paul'. And since she said she was on row 116, Paul said: 'I remember you well; row 116. Still as pretty now'
Pretty sure she got an Oscar nod for this.
Pretty sure she won it too.
Alas, she lost out to the Stable Genius' incredible performance in Homme Alone 2
There's a documentary dedicated to Paul in which Meryl talks she was part of beatlemania and went to Shea stadium concert!
Ok, the thing that makes me think this is Meryl Streep, is if you look over the left shoulder of the boy being interviewed in the second clip you see only the bottom portion of her face. There's no way that mouth and chin belong to anyone but her. And I watched the Grammy awards the night she presented McCartney his award and she was very flustered. I still have it on tape.

Meryl Streep is the girl on the left. She has said that she was quite shy at the time and let her friend do the talking…
Meryl Streep has said she went to 1965 Shea Stadium concert. You can Google it and hear her saying it. But the problem is the description on this video is wrong. This apparently isn't the 65 concert like it says. This is the 66 concert as everyone seems to know when that reporter did this. Lol.

I remember watching that!
Meryl Streep looks cute and nice and those answers are cute and nice
She's the girl on the left, not the one talking.
@@davidqvarford1566 Yeah that was two separate comments really, I meant the other girl and the guy gave cute answers. I did recognise Meryl
omg, it's baby meryl!! she STILL has that beautiful demeanor!!!
This was just after John’s Jesus remarks and you can see how this reporter was trying to put poison down by trying to drag them down. Fortunately none of the fans were falling for it. Good for them.
John Lennon was right.
That’s bcuz they weren’t from America’s Bible Belt.🙄
Ah the NY accent on that last guy, brings me home.
Good for those kids for sticking to their guns! And lovely Meryl there knowing all.
Glad to hear she has great taste in music!
Actually she did mention she was at the Shea Stadium concert in a speech she made to Paul MacCartney lately.
She was a big Beatles fan.
Meryl said on the Jimmy Kimmel show that she went to a Beatles concert in 1965. In The Beatles Anthology they present these interviews as being from 1966.
It's Meryl Streep for sure.
thanks for posting this video..i love meryl streep so much!..mwaahh..
So, Meryl Streep interviewed at the Beatles concert at Shea Stadium in 1965. Her first time on film.
You have a valuable bit of film there, gapont2. I'd copyright it, or whatever you do to claim ownership. And, insure it and keep the original in a safe.
Seriously. Meryl Streep is gonna go down in history as the most important actress of her time. The Beatles as the most important band. You've got a piece of history, there.
Thank you for the video.
Meryl ‘s was/is favorite Beatle was John going by her wearing a version of his trademark Greek fisherman’s hat 👍
Meanwhile, Sigourney Weaver was at their performance in the Hollywood Bowl that same year. Hell, a young Teri Garr was a backup dancer on The T.A.M.I. Show! She can be seen wearing a bullseye shirt while The Supremes were on stage.
She sat three desks in front of me in our high school history class, nice girl.
Tell us more!
According to the beatles anthology this footage is from 1966 and she would of been "just 17....you know what I mean."
Jordan Rhea Yeah I think so.
Yeah, gapont2, I was just away Googling to see if she did mention the concert. She did indeed. You're right.
The Beatles Shea Stadium concert was in August, 1965. When Meryl presented Paul McCartney with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 1990, she mentioned she was there. Here is the RUclips clip of her stating that:

Well, she DID see the Beatles at Shea Stadium. She says so when she gave Paul the grammy. She grew up in New Jersey...I say it's her.
it is DEFINITIVELY Meryl!!!
That smile at :16.. come on. .Nobody else smiles the way Meryl Streep does, how could there be any question? it's less apparent when she's in front during the girl's interview, but when she's in the background, she looks as Meryl as ever, no question.
I just saw young Meryl Streep. It is an awesome feeling.
She was gogeous at 16 years old and she still is
This wasn't the 1965 Shea Stadium appearance .This is their second one. Also...If you look at pictures of Meryl Streep as a child, she doesn't look anything like that. Her hair was very blonde and she was thinner than that girl.

It's her in this clip. There's no question. Look at her nose/mouth area at around :16 .....it's identical to the way she looks today. The debate is closed, it's her.
She did- back in 1990. I watched it and have never forgotten it. Thought it was cool that she presented a life-time award to Paul.
She was an Angel in her youth.
she was just a person like us, weirdo.
I think it's definitely Meryl Streep!
It looks a lot like her and I heard she's a massive fan of the beatles back in the day and that her favorite was paul.
The best way to know if it's her or not would be to find a photograph of her in 1966...
I think you're right and this photograph is a proof.
Definitely looks like her when the guy is being interviewed and she's standing behind him.
I'm pretty sure this would be 1966. The interviewer is talking about the Beatle craze being on the way out. There was something like a third of the seats empty as opposed to the year before, where it was a full house. I've seen other interviews like this with fans at the ' 66 Shea gig where the interviewer is venturing the same thing.
Who is the interviewer? He seems to be in a campaign against the Beatles. Is he from NBC?
@EnchantedSilence that's meryl. in 1990 she presented the lifetime achievement award to paul mccartney and talked about shea stadium.
At 0:28 she actually looks like Meryl Streep.
AMAZING!!!
Thank You!!!
omg! ofc it's meryl! you can see that on her smile and her eyes and ofc her nose!
she is so cute and so beautiful! why didn't the man interviewed her, he should have done that!:-)
She's so cute! Lovely was, lovely stayed and will be forever!
You can find it in the Beatles anthology DVDs.
Yup. It's not her. This was the 1966 Shea Concert interview. Meryl attended the 1965 event.
Adorable. We all start out small...
There is a video here which has a bunch of home movies and videos of Meryl growing up. This is in there. Check it out. Also quite conceivable that that guy is her brother Harry. He resembles him.
it's definitively Meryl...
That's right. It's not her. She was already a beauty queen when aged 18 !
Sorry to have posted this fake document.
Thanks to BridgesGoddes
she was sooo youmg! omigoodnesss!!
She looks like her...but it's not her. But she does look like her!
It's Meryl Streep, all right, about 6 years before she entered Yale Drama School and then became perhaps the best actress of her generation. Of course, all that was in the future during that brief moment when a star-struck Meryl stood silent and let her girlfriend grab the spotlight. Who knew?
That is her. I am insanely positive.
this is 1966, after Lennon's 'We're Bigger Than Jesus' thing. The reporter is asking leading questions, trying to get people to give up the Beatles. The so-called 'Libral Media!' lol.
CUUUUUUUUUUTEEEEEE
Meryl Streep honored Paul McCartney for an award in 1990 and she said she went to Shea Stadium in 1965 in row 160 so i think this is her.
Not in 65. It was in 1966.
It's true she died her hair blonde in her late teens, & attended the Shea Stadium concert. But was she a bit chubby in her early teens? If so, this could be her..... or a relative!
It's her
It was a life-time award- I watched it, too. Good call.
Jeffrey Pierce, She didn't have blond hair as a child, and she doesn't have blond hair now. She has dyed her hair for ages. So this brunette is easily Meryl.
Queen of oscar😊😊😊🤘🤘🤘🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
"I think it's still strawung."
I think it's her. You can tell more at about :17 onward.
The question is, has she ever mentioned she went to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium?? It seems to me it would be something she would have mentioned, at least once, in the countless interviews she's given.
The girl talking in the beginning is Cher
yes . that's right !
This is actually from the 1966 Shea Stadium concert (which didn't sell out like the year before, possibly because of the "bigger than Jesus" comment, and also that they were playing concerts in D.C. and Boston the same tour).
that's the question !
That's right, i made a mistake. I thought the Beatles concert was in 1967, so she is not 18 but 16.
It IS her, she confirmed it.
But why does the CBS reporter sound like a sarcastic 30's gangster?
Ithought that was cher ,then i look at the comments it was meryl i was shock . But she’s so coooolll and beautiful always preaty.
Meryl had that Lennon cap too. 🤣🤣
No she never, that's not her.
Actually this is from the 1966 Shea Stadium show.
She looked like a very young Princess Diana
Oh, sure Merryl is the one wearing a cap. Not the one who spoke to the reporter.
That is NOT Meryl Streep. There are many of her high school photos online proving it’s not her. Meryl was very blond throughout high school, with the same thin face she had in the years following.
One more comment, the girl being interviewed has a NY, Brooklyn accent. MS grew up in Central New Jersey I believe. So she is with a friend who lives in Brooklyn, not a friend from NJ? Looks like her though...
It's not 65 it's the 66 Tour
It is 1966, not 65. See the campaign against the Beatles made by the reporter because of the Jesus Christ quote. The guy did what he could to let people think the Beatles were finished. In vain. It is a long time this video is here, others has infomed the date is wrong. Gregoire Pont...would you please change it?
and the guy is dan acroyd*lol*
This is not Streep and this was filmed in 1966. Harris, the interviewer was not at the 65 concert that Streep says she attended.
I was dubious until I saw her again up behind the young guy being interviewed. You can see it then that is IS probably Meryl Streep.
The kid they talk to after that sure looks like David Keith, lol
It's her. Looks and body language / mannerisms are exactly the same.
Wel, I am not sure she was blonde at this age.
The best way to know would be to find a photograph of her aged 16.
yea its her! and look at the cheekbones. it's so meryl.
It must be her....
This little clip (okay little part of this clip) were played at her AFI i think...
the ONLY way to know it would be to find a photograph of Meryl as a brunette around 1966.
Or to simply show her !
i' think that the girl in the left is 90% Meryl because she looks like her very much . Look at the way she talks ....
I take that back... she is Meryl!!!! I just saw the video and she is!!!!
She's the one on the left not talking
No way that's Meryl Streep. The girl mildly resembles her. Meryl was at Shea in '65. The interview said this interview happened in '66, when The Beatles returned.
Check the nose…that is her
Meryl Streep isn't the brown-haired girl answering the question! She's the blonde-haired girl on the LEFT who says "nooo...". She's looks cute.
i think it's her. Look at her movies where she's a brunette like in Silkwood or Marvin's Room. That's young Karen Silkwood or young Lee. I think it is .
Meryl years later presented Paul with the lifetime achievement Grammy in 1990: ruclips.net/video/WN9FA9i1hyU/видео.html
Ommmg , where did you get this?!
That doesnt look a whole lot like her but I guess, she did say she went to a Beatles concert.
I Actually Proper Love Her!
Streep herself denied it was she. Just a coincidental lookalike.
