Saoirse Ronan, Laura Dern, Florence Pugh, Timothee Chalamet and Meryl Streep joined director Greta Gerwig at a DGA screening and Q&A for “Little Women”. During the panel event, which was moderated by Stacey Wilson Hunt, the cast opened up about how they all got into character and Meryl talked about how she became the penny-pinching Aunt March. “She [Greta Gerwig] let me do what I wanted,” she said. “Aunt March is all about the money. It’s how the world measures value. She is the reality check on all the airy-fairy, highfalutin, idealistic people who populate her family, and that she basically underwrites.” Saoirse even revealed that one day, Meryl ate fast food to get into character. “I was trying to save money.”
