Meryl Streep Sends Flowers to Megan Hilty

Megan Hilty received a heartfelt surprise from Meryl Streep ahead of her Broadway debut in 'Death Becomes Her' on November 21. Streep sent Hilty flowers accompanied by a humorous note that read, 'Break a leg, or I'll break it for you. With dried and undying love and respect, Meryl.' This gesture highlighted Streep's witty charm and served as a passing of the torch to Hilty, who takes on the iconic role of Madeline Ashton from the 1992 film. The Broadway adaptation promises a darkly comedic take on the story of a rivalry between two women seeking eternal youth, with Hilty and co-star Jennifer Simard playing central roles. Hilty creatively referenced Streep's accolades in her Playbill bio, adding a playful twist to her Broadway debut. The production has garnered excitement for its fresh yet faithful homage to the cult classic, and Hilty expressed her delight at Streep's acknowledgment.
