Meryl Streep Recalls Past 'Beef' With Goldie Hawn on Death Becomes Her Set

Her Vanity Fair reminiscence doubles as a snapshot of early CGI’s strain on actors.

Overview

  • Meryl Streep said she had a minor 'beef' with Goldie Hawn during Death Becomes Her because Hawn often arrived late to set.
  • She emphasized that they stayed close, calling Hawn 'one of my buddies' and saying they still laugh about the movie.
  • Streep described the film’s effects work as 'excruciating,' recalling a full-body green spandex suit with pins and setups for a head-removal gag.
  • She praised Bruce Willis as 'divine' and 'such a gent,' saying he was game for comedy despite a reputation she had heard about.
  • Coverage also noted a light New Heights podcast exchange where Jason and Travis Kelce joked about any 'beef' with Streep, as the 1992 dark comedy remains known for pioneering visual effects.
