Meryl Streep Raves About Her “Ricki and the Flash” Co-Star — Her Daughter

ABC/Fred Lee(NEW YORK) — Monday night in New York City, Meryl Streep was joined on the red carpet by her daughter and co-starMamie Gummer for the premiere of Ricki and the Flash.

Ricki and the Flash does not represent the first time Streep has worked with Mamie. She explained on the red carpet, “I’ve been working with my daughter for 32 years and finally I had someone who directed her that she listened to.”

Naturally, Streep gave her daughter’s performance in the film a glowing review, saying she was “blown away,” though she quickly added, “I’m not objective.”

In Ricki and the Flash, Streep plays the titular character, who abandoned her family to pursue her rock star dreams. It opens Friday.
