As some of you may know, Lisa Kudrow’s originally based web series “Web Therapy” is running in its second season on Showtime, and the current episodes feature Meryl as therapist Camilla Bowner. These episodes haven’t been newly filmes but are taken from the webisodes that were launched in 2010. To my own surprise, there have never been screencaptures from these episodes on Simply Streep, so here they are, also including captures from outtakes and behind the scenes.

I remember having parts of this interview posted before, but somehow – I guess with the new video archive – this one got lost. So here’s a treat from the past I was reminded of when preparing “The Manchurian Candidate” as Movie of the Week. In 2004, Jonathan Ross aired a half-hour interview special with Meryl as part of his “Film 2004” series. The full interview can be watched in two parts in the video archive.

Besides the insightful and funny interview, footage from the 2003 BAFTA Awards (“I would like to spank Spike Jonze”), the 1983 Oscar press room as well as from the makings of “The French Lieteunant’s Woman” and “Plenty” are – unfortunately only briefly featured. Screencaptures from the interview have been added as well. My thanks to Alvaro, who originally taped and sent this to me. Thanks!
