Interview. Playing a

not always fun.

Streep’s mean streak #23"

“August: Osage County” is an
ensemble film, with bigname
actors crowded into every inch
of the screen. But most of the
attention has drifted, inevita
bly, toward its matriarch, not
the least because she's played
by Meryl Streep.

‘As Violet Weston, whose
dysfunctional family packs into
her remote Oklahoma home in
the wake of her husband’s sui
cide, she’s a pillpopping mon-
ster, short-tempered and prone
to speak her mind, which is
usually crammed with wicked
thoughts she mistakes for
tough truths. This may sound

fun than itis.

"AS an actor, you're sup
posed to want to go to the
house of pain over and over
and over again,” Streep ex
plains. “But it’s not something
that's fun. I resisted doing this
initially because of that.”

While the entire cast —
which includes Julia Roberts.
Juliette Lewis and. Julianne
Nicholson — got along well,
she still felt her character's
pain. “It wasn't the most joy-
us experience from my point
of view." she says.

‘Adding to the tension was
shooting while Hurricane San-
dy raged in the outside world.
“It was important to make a
connection beyond the set.
Also I was smoking nonstop,
which really makes you feel
sh—y"

She even felt a bit of jeal
ousy, especially in comparison
to Chris Cooper's far more lik-
able brotherin-law. "He would
imbue [his character] with his
enormous humanity and com-
passion. And | knew the audi
ence would love him. And 1
knew they would hate me in
equal measure.”

She says one of the more
upsetting scenes was with her
husband, played by Sam Shepa-
nl, before he kills himself,

“You still think that maybe
there’sa spark of love from this
person. who's gone through
everything with you. And to
look in his eyes and realize
he'd rather be dead than look
at you — that was brutal. That
sort of set the tone for dealing
with his death and everything
afterwards.”

This said, the play (by
Tracy Letts, for which he was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize)
is still a comedy. “The hu-
mors borne out of pain, but
you still want your laughs.
Every single actor came to the
first reading with a copy of the
original play, with their lines
highlighted that had been cut.”
They even begged Letts, who
adapted the play himself for
the screen, to reinstitute key
laugh lines.
