MERYL STREEP
IN 'RICKI AND THE FLASH'
Bravo to Meryl Streep, the fact that she is well over 60 cannot make her to slowdown, she's getting and accepting new roles like there's no
tomorrow: her latest gig is the lead role in Diablo Cody's upcoming new movie RICKI AND THE FLASH! It is the funny and touching story of a rock n' roll-loving woman who chased her tattered dream at the price of her family, but gets a last chance to make things right. Streep, the most Oscar-nominated star in history, is well known for her singing prowess on stage and screen ('Mamma Mia!', 'Into the Woods', she even trained to be opera singer), but Ricki is a new gig even for the musically gifted star: a guitar-wielding, hard rockin' mamma by night and grocery store checkout lady by day.
