So what has Meryl Streep been doing since I originally featured her in July 2012?


Plenty, actually, though it would be foolish of me to go into detail about everything she's done in the three years or so between my earlier post and this one.

At the urging of her former husband, Pete (played by Kevin Kline), she returns home to help their daughter through a bad time, and she tries to reconnect with her two sons as well as her daughter.
   

Meryl Streep shows no signs of slowing down. :-)
