#TBT: Meryl Streep On The Funny Side Effects Of Fame | TODAY

[@CoachingHigher]

40 years and 400 awards later and still as level-headed and lovely. She even felt she had to apologize for being "this great thing" back then. I love her.❤️

[@selbardot]

Aaaaaaw Meryl's laugh 😍

[@cuacasvlog6066]

I love Meryl's laugh

[@imrekalman9044]

"...because I'm supposed to be this great... thing..." 35 years and additional 17 oscar nominations later it is safe to say: she IS this great... thing....

[@MspedzRN]

How great to see she has not changed, and even Jane likes her now.

[@faithe54]

Love the older Meryl with the deeper, more forceful voice; the woman unafraid to stand up for whats fair, and the person who generously gives us her love.

[@bringiton5282]

I love the younger Meryl as well as the older one :p

[@msajabila2243]

adorable young Meryl

[@donnasheridan3716]

MY QUEEN !

[@MR-ki8ud]

She was beet red throughout that interview. I suspect that Meryl Streep is a very humble person, and getting all that attention at that stage of her career must’ve been overwhelming.

[@karolvanessabastidasblanch3951]

😂😂 I love Queen of my life 😍😍

[@spiderliliez]

Lovely Lovely Meryl...

[@Er.Sunil.Pedgaonkar]

[@alyfabian1045]

I'm obsessed with her laugh

[@iamsultana]

Wow at first I thought it was her daughter in the thumbnail, because she's been in many interviews lately.

[@EL-ub2df]
