After a fun February with a few public appearances, it has been a rather dry March. The previously announced Women Making History Awards Gala only featured a video message by Streep, which was not posted online, so there’s nothing to report. But there’s new material for the archives: Production stills, promotionals and on-set pictures from “Sophie’s Choice”, “Silkwood”, “Out of Africa” and “A Cry in the Dark” have been added, among others. A full list of all updates can be found below. Enjoy.

The hit Broadway play welcomed Meryl Streep, Martin Short, Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein in the audience on Saturday, March 8. Oh, Mary! follows “a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln” in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s 1865 assassination. The show plays at the Lyceum Theatre in New York City and is directed by Sam Pinkleton. Gilpin joined the cast on Jan. 21 in her Broadway debut, taking over the eponymous role for a limited, eight-week engagement. A couple of pictures have been added to the photo gallery.

A new batch of production and promotional stills as well as on-set pictures has been added to the photo gallery, this time covering the 20 years between 1989 and 2008. Among the highlights are deleted scenes from “She-Devil”, where, apparently, quite a bit ended on the cutting room floor. Many of the “Doubt” production stills have been replaced with better quality versions, and there are some nice additions to “The River Wild” and the television film “First Do No Harm” as well. Enjoy the new pictures.

Here comes an early highlight for 2025! Sunday’s “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” delivered another Kate McKinnon-led alien abduction sketch, with some especially big names making a surprise appearance. The sketch included Woody Harrelson and Pedro Pascal, who got abducted by the aliens with McKinnon, but describe a much more pleasant experience. They are questioned by military officials Jon Hamm and Aidy Bryant. Meryl Streep entered the scene as McKinnon’s character Colleen Rafferty’s mother, wearing an outfit similar to Colleen’s signature pastel Hawaiian shirt, complete with a cigarette in one hand and a styrofoam cup in the other. Colleen Senior describes her own X-rated alien abduction, going on to mention how the aliens “lost interest” and stuffed her in a closet. Pictures from the celebration’s arrivals, show and screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery. The sketch can be watched in the video archive.

On Friday, Meryl Streep was a memorable audience member during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert special, “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert”, in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. During a sketch featuring former cast members Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer reprising their SNL characters Marty and Bobbi Mohan-Culp, Ferrell said, “We have pretty significant floaters right now, but it doesn’t stop us from seeing so many middle fingers peppered in both the upper mezzanine and orchestra section. It’s just unbelievably rude,” Gasteyer replied, “We’re talking about you, Meryl Streep. We see you.” With the camera then panning over to Streep in the audience, she raised her hand and flashed her middle finger, as Martin Short and the audience laughed loudly. A picture from the concert, featuring Streep with Short, Steve Martin and Keegan-Michael Key has been added to the photo gallery.

Three days into the new year and we have a public appearance already. On Friday, the Golden Globes gave a rousing launch to its Golden Gala: An Evening of Excellence, with Ted Danson receiving the fifth Carol Burnett Award and Viola Davis being given the Cecil B. DeMille Award in an intimate ceremony – meaning they scrap their Life Achievement Awards from Sunday’s ceremony and tv broadcast. Meryl Streep introduced Davis by saying she’d heard great things about the actress but didn’t know her work, until the first reading of John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt.” Davis’ character doesn’t have much to do in the early part of the script and Davis sat there silently “like a quiet volcano pretending to be a hill.” Davis’s eight-minute scene with Streep made everyone in the room aware of her power, and the 2008 film brought her worldwide audiences. A couple of pictures from the gala have been added to the photo gallery.
