Actress Louise Jacobson is new to her own ritual, but that doesn’t stop her famous mother Meryl Streep from behaving like a complete drama queen.
The Gilded Age star – who plays Marianne Brook’s penniless blue blood – discussed some of the three-time Oscar winner’s most annoying habits in a recent late-night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Host Jimmy Kimmel asked the 30-year-old if the 72-year-old Streep annoys the young starlet from time to time.
“Of course,” Jacobson said. She also revealed the sweet nickname the “Don’t Look Up” star has for her youngest child: “Pickle!”
Jacobson remembered a moment when her mother was worried about her. Even today she said, “Okay, Pickle, is the car coming for you?” She said, “Do you have everything you need?” Is someone coming to pick you up from the theater?
