Article courtesy USA Today: Of Meryl Streep’s abundance of gifts, one stands out in particular: the ability to laugh at herself. Her left hand is bandaged after an avocado-peeling accident that severed nerves and requires physical therapy. She still can’t believe her kitchen debacle, the confluence of foolhardiness and the wrong knife. “From now on, I’m changing everything. I learn something every day. I do. Six months to a year, it will take to heal,” Streep says ruefully. “I shouldn’t cross against the light, and that’s when you get hit by the bike coming the wrong way. You know it. And you think, how can you tell your children anything when you’re the idiot?”
That’s not the word anyone would use to describe her. Streep is one of the most respected, revered actresses working today, and she won an Oscar, her third, this year for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. Yet Streep, effusive, funny and warm, sounds like a giddy drama school graduate when she talks about her day job. “Oh, my God. I can’t believe they’re still letting me do this!” The complete article can be read here.
Today, “Hope Springs” opens in US theaters.

According to the Daily Mail, there is an old saying among luvvies that ‘the show must go on.’ And Meryl Streep obviously took heed, as she laughed off the pain of an injured hand to appear on a panel in New York to promote her latest film. Meryl, 63, turned up for the special event at the Soho Apple shop to promote the comedy drama with a white bandage over her hand, wrist and little finger. While cutting through an avocado the Iron Lady actress sliced open her hand, doing quite quite a bit of damage. A local doctor in Connecticut sewed it up, but then Streep headed back into New York for hand surgery. She told Showbiz 411: ‘They gave me an even bigger bandage, and of course I took it right off when I got home. ‘But now, I think I’ll put it back on.’ And despite the fact she is one of the most decorated actresses in history, she humbly revealed she was in awe of her co-star Tommy Lee Jones. She said: ‘Can you believe I waited so long to work with him? ‘He’s the go to guy on set. Everyone loves him. The complete article can be read Daily Mail.
