The Hollywood icon has been with award-winning sculptor Don Gummer for 42 years, once declaring in an interview: "I found a great husband many years ago — I'm lucky in that way. Just weeks before the pair met in early , Streep had been at the bedside of actor John Cazale, her boyfriend of two years, as he took his final breaths.
The up-and-coming actress had met Cazale, already known for his role in films including The Godfather , in while auditioning for New York's Shakespeare in the Park. They landed roles opposite one another in 'Measure for Measure'. Off-stage, they quickly shifted from co-stars to couple, with Streep moving into Cazale's apartment in Tribeca.
In May , the couple received devastating news: Cazale was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, the disease having spread through his body. Streep was desperate to be with Cazale and care for him in the ensuing months; when he was cast in The Deer Hunter , she is said to have accepted a role in the film just to be near him. Cazale didn't live to see the final product. Despite months of treatment, his cancer ultimately metastasised to his bones.
Streep, then 29, hadn't left his side from the moment he was admitted to the facility. She practically vaulted out of her seat and gave co-star Dustin Hoffman , who was sitting in front of her and would win Best Actor later in the night, a big kiss on the cheek.
She then gave a rather short speech that confined her thank-yous to colleagues. Perhaps overcome with emotion, she forgot to thank him. Or, maybe she was busy thinking about the fact that she was pregnant. Daughter Mamie Gummer was born that August. It must be nice never having to worry about finding a date. Gummer was by Streep's side at the premiere of The Bridges of Madison County , about an Italian-born housewife whose body and soul come alive when she meets a photographer passing through her small town, for which she'd earn her 10th Oscar nomination.
Side note: she didn't care for the book , but was won over by the screenplay. Another day, another country, another lifetime achievement gala honoring Streep, this one in Spain in Sometimes it's nice just to watch.
Going to Knicks games may give Streep a chance to practice her "long-suffering" expression, but on this night in she was the all-star at Madison Square Garden, with 50 Cent and Kobe Bryant asking for pictures.
Streep, an honoree in , was invited to pay tribute to honoree Sting at the Kennedy Center Honors. So much honoring, but the honor was all Don Gummer's.
Well, it might, but at least they have each other. Streep received her record-for-any-actor 21st Oscar nomination in for her portrayal of legendary Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham in The Post. I'm barely in control of my own life. And there's the pressure to be articulate. With motherhood, you can barely put the subject before the predicate and make a sentence.
She couldn't help it that she continued to come off as so wise that people wanted to hear from her any chance they could get. For the last 27 years she has continued to give interviews sparingly and never divulges much about her family—though she will do her press when need be and will talk at length about causes she's passionate about.
Henry is a musician while Mamie and Grace are actresses and Louisa is a model. And if you're wondering whether Gummer is supportive of Streep's megawatt career, the answer is yes. He was at Streep's side at many of her most celebrated events, including: at the 51st Academy Awards in ; at the premiere of Kramer vs.
