Is there anything Meryl Streep can’t do? We hate to sound like one of her breathless fans, but seriously: She looks rad in “Ricki and the Flash.” In the movie, Streep plays mother to her real-life daughter, Mamie Gummer, but she’s not a traditional mama bear – she’s a rock ‘n’ roll star, one who’s been an absentee parent for much of her kids’ life. But when she finds out that her daughter’s marriage is falling apart, she rushes home to help out.
This is Streep like you’ve never seen her: She’s wearing more eyeliner than Kim Kardashian and half of her head is permanently braided. “Someday you’re gonna wake up and find a gray hair – and I don’t mean on your head,” she advises her daughter, spreading her legs in the air to illustrate her point.
