Film
Q: What for you is the best movie of all time(s)
A: I would have to say ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ because it was a treat to see both leads play characters so new to them. As an actress, I love watching how another actress takes on and performs something new. This was the first non Disney film for Anne Hathaway, and this was the first time I had seen Meryl Streep play a divaish antagonist. I loved it!
Q: Who are your favorite Actors (can be national or international)
A: Meryl Streep is hands down the best actress of our generation. Her complete control over every character she has played astonishes me!
