As reported earlier, Meryl Streep was in New York City today for Newsweek and The Daily Beast’s third annual Women in the World Summit. Housed at Lincoln Center, the three-day event spotlights the urgent challenges facing women today, from forced marriage to the economic crisis to the Arab spring. The full speech has been added to the video archive and a bunch of pictures can be found in the image library. Pictures are © Marc Bryan-Brown.


In summit’s final act before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton closed out the third annual weekend’s events, Meryl Streep took to the stage to praise the women in the room and the panelists’ many achievements. She went on to compare herself – “as every woman my age has done” – to Clinton, who shares so many attributes with the film star: they both were raised in middle-class families by big-hearted mothers who encouraged them to lead interesting lives. They both went to public schools and on to prestigious all-women colleges, then Yale. “But while I became a cheerleader, Hillary became the president of her class,” Streep joked. “And there, the two paths in the woods diverged.” Streep held up her Oscar to illustrate what actresses receive for playing parts well, but, she said, “Hillary is the real deal.” When Clinton emerged onto the stage, the women shared a long embrace – sisters at the top of their fields, inspiring other women of all ages to aspire to the same.

The theatrical trailer “To the Arctic 3D”, which Meryl Streep narrates, has been released and added to the video archive – it looks outstanding, even in 2D ;-) You can learn more about this new documentary, which will hit Imax theaters in the USA on April 20, at its detail page in the career section. Then, the Jimmy Kimmel special “Movie: The Movie” has been added. Part of Kimmel’s “After the Academy Awards” special, this is a spoof trailer for the greatest film, yet to be filmed, featuring pretty much every actor who’s currently allowed to be working in Hollywood, including George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron and Matt Damon, just to to name a few. Meryl is featured very briefly – it’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but at least she’s wearing a mustache ;-) And finally, two additonal interview segments from the Academy Awards, one from ABC News and one from “Live with Kelly: Academy Awards Special” – very funny! Enjoy the new clips :-)
