I love Meryl Streep. She can take on just about any role and make it hers. By that I mean, she becomes the person she is portraying.

Her latest movie, Mamma Mia, is getting rave reviews. I cannot wait to see it. It looks to be an uplifting and fun movie. I might not wait for it to come out on DVD. I usually hate to sit in a movie theater but this movie looks worth my ability to sit still. LOL The movie is about a mom, Donna, with a wild past. She sings ABBA songs and dances her way across a Greek Island on the eve of her daughter’s wedding. She never quite knew which man, of which she had a few, was the father of her daughter. Her daughter goes on a quest to figure out the puzzle. The results are hilarious. At least, that is what I have heard. Darn it! When is this movie coming to our area?

Meryl Streep was recently honored at the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City. She is 59 and has been married to her husband, Don Gummer, for 30 years. She has three daughters, Louisa, Grace and Mamie.
