One of the things I’ve always respected about Streep was the way she took care of her fiancee John Cazale (probably best remembered as Fredo from The Godfather films) when he was dying from bone cancer. Of course, that’s the decent thing to do no matter who you are. But it’s not the sort of devotion one has come to expect from a lot of Hollywood types.
Wow, I didn’t know that. Enjoyed him in Dog Day Afternoon and the Deer Hunter.
Another thing was Bob DeNiro personally paid for the insurance so that Cazale could be in The Deer Hunter.....Cazale was a heck of an actor.
The funny thing was I had assumed that Streep was dating James Woods when they were filming “Holocaust” together.
