Meryl Streep Says She 'Had a Beef' With Goldie Hawn Over Tardiness on 'Death Becomes Her' Set

Her remarks came in a Vanity Fair interview tied to The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.

Overview

  • Streep, in a Vanity Fair video published Thursday, said she clashed with Hawn because Hawn often arrived late to set while she is strict about punctuality.
  • She emphasized there is no feud today and called Hawn “one of my buddies,” recalling that they laughed through scenes together.
  • Streep described the film’s effects work as “excruciating,” citing a full green spandex suit with pins for measurements and filming decapitation effects.
  • She praised Bruce Willis as “divine,” saying he was a gent and eager to be ridiculous despite a reputation for being difficult on some sets.
  • Released in 1992, the dark comedy became a cult favorite, won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, and later inspired a 2024 Broadway musical recognized at the Tony Awards.
