MERYL IS SHOOTING "A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION" Posted: 2005-07-12 | Source: Webmaster Not much to report at the moment, except that Meryl is currently shooting Robert Altman's "A Prairie Home Companion". I expected some on-set photos since the media's interest in Lindsay Lohan, who plays Meryl's daugther. Still, there's a lovely quote of her: "It is quite incredible to be able to say that I will be working with someone like that," Lohan said of Streep. "You can only learn from those people and just watch." More articles can be found in the Discussion Forum.
