Meryl Streep says when she came to Cannes 35 years ago, she was frightened.
Streep picked up Best Actress in 1989 in the middle of winning three Oscars. The award then was for Fred Schepisi’s “Evil Angels,” a movie no one remembers.
But she says here in an interview from this afternoon that there was little security and that the paparazzi mobbed her. She returned to her hotel room, shaking.
She was shocked. “I’m not a rock star, I live a boring life,” she said. “Not boring. But not one filled with hyperbole.”
You have to love her.
