Actress Meryl Streep Was Unable To Talk To Her Daughter, Mamie Gummer, On The Set Of Ricki And The Flash Because Director Jonathan Demme Feared She Would Interfere With Her Role.
Demme asked the Academy Award winner to avoid her daughter while filming, but the request led to an awkward environment because he forgot to inform Gummer.
Streep says, "I was so excited to work with her because she's a really good actress and she's really perfectly placed in this movie. I mean she has everything you need to play this fierce and funny girl, but I think, Jonathan Demme, who was the director, was afraid that I would direct her, as mothers do...
"I think he was concerned that would happen. The dynamic, he wasn't sure how it would play out and he asked me not to speak to her. But she told me two days ago, he never told her that he had said that to me. So she said, 'Why is my mom being so weird?'"
