Oscar winner
It was her big moment. And she dedicated it all to him alone - her great love! Meryl Streep, 62, looked like a Hollywood queen when she was on stage with the Oscar in her hand: "First, I want to thank my husband. Everything that I appreciate in our lives, you have given me! "A film-ready declaration of love in front of millions of viewers!
Meryl Streep has been married to Don Gummer (65) for almost 34 years. When she met the sculptor in 1978, she was devastated: Her fiancé had just died of cancer. It was Don who gave her the laugh back.
She once described her recipe for happiness for this marriage: "You have to talk about everything, listen to the problems and advice, and sometimes admit that you are not always right. My experience: Conversations are the key to a happy marriage. "And the passion must not go out for Meryl Streep :" Sex means everything to me. That's the only answer I have, "she said with a wink. How nice that in addition to tears and divorces, there is also a great Hollywood feel-movie!
