Da una dea all'altra... Streep has long spoken of her love and admiration for one of her all time favorite actors, Anna Magnani, and if I'm not mistaken, elements of Streep's work in The Bridges of Madison County were inspired by her. When Streep and Hanks were promoting The Post in Italy, Magnani's son, Luca, wanted to make sure that Streep was given an autographed photo of his mother. How wonderful is this?

Great video.
Anna Magnani commands so much respect... all of it deserved. She was the favorite actress of major writers like Tenneesse Williams, and people like Vanessa Redgrave have her as the best actress who ever lived. There just isn't another one like her: she has no "successors" in the typical sense.

Very nice gesture and she sure looked surprised and moved.
Won't even bother with the rest of the video... why people are still watching that show is beyond me.

Many people love and appreciate Streep. But I think De Laurentiis did the right choice with Jessica Lange instead of her for King Kong 😉 And I guess a lot of Italian people know Streep and are unaware of Magnani. |

Oh honey, Anna Magnani was the greatest actress of the 20th century.
Nobody commands emotion as easily as she did.
She also brought a naturalness and realism to acting that was a least a couple of decades ahead of its time.
She wasn't a classic beauty but her face was so expressive. Pure emotion.
