“The Iron Lady” has been released on DVD and Blu-Ray today in the USA, so be sure to grab your copy. I have added over 1.700 high quality screencaptures from the Blu-Ray to the image library. Enjoy the captures!

Meryl Streep j4has oined Elton John, Sting and James Taylor for their own special version of The Wizard of Oz at a benefit concert to raise funds for rainforest communities in Central and South America, yesterday. Sting’s wife, Trudie Styler, produced the all-star fund-raiser with the theme Songs from the Silver Screen for The Rainforest Foundation US at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Sting had a surprise hit with the dark theme from comedy series M*A*S*H, Suicide is Painless, while Streep sang When You Wish Upon A Star. Over 100 pictures from the concert have been added to the image library.

Also, there is some speculation at this time that Meryl is in talks to join Stephen Sondheim’s production of “Into the Woods”, playing the Delacorte this summer. Not long ago, a British newspaper interview with Sondheim mentioned that Meryl was a rumored possibility to portray the Witch in the revival. Sondheim didn’t confirm or deny the buzz, but interestingly said, “We will see. I think she’d be great.” That set excited little heads spinning all around town. Meanwhile, a good friend of Meryl was just cast. Amy Adams – who costarred with the multi-Oscar winner in Doubt and Julie and Julia – is going to play the Baker’s Wife. Thanks to Glenn for the heads-up!

Here comes the first production still for “Great Hope Springs”, featuring its stars Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep. Full version can be found in the image library.

Here’s the second part of today’s magazine update. For more information on what has been added, please check the previous update.

I’ve found a rare picture that deserves a spotlight in the updates. In this 1981 photo, Meryl Streep and Don Gummer greet Ronald Reagan and wife Nancy at the Kennedy Center Honors’ Green Room. This picture is worth a mention for some reason – first it’s been 30 years between this picture and Meryl becoming an Honoree at the Kennedy Center Honors herself. It’s also one in a list of pictures with Meryl and presidents and politicians, she’s been posing with Bill Clinton at the Save the Music concert in 1999 and, of course, with President Obama during the Kennedy Center Honors. Oh, and with the Queen at the Royal premiere of “Kramer vs. Kramer” in 1980.
