Meryl Streep rehearses her Democratic convention speech... as 100 celebrities join a campaign to*
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | 7/27/2016 | Khaleda Rahman

Meryl Streep was pictured getting ready to address the Democratic National Convention this evening – as more than 100 celebrities joined a campaign to urge Americans to deny Donald Trump the White House.

The legendary actress wore a cream-colored high-necked dress and glasses as she rehearsed her speech and did a sound check on stage at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon.

On the second night of the convention in Philadelphia, other stars taking the stage include Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks, Girls creator Lena Dunham, actress America Ferrera and Scandal star Tony Goldwyn - who have all been regulars on the Hillary Clinton campaign trail.

Alicia Keys is set to perform this evening and was pictured rehearsing during the afternoon, wearing a denim jumpsuit and colorful headwrap.

Former president Bill Clinton will also speak, followed by an appearance by Streep.

It comes after a string of celebrities took the stage on the opening night on the convention, including Eva Longoria, Sarah Silverman and Demi Lovato.

Meanwhile, Julianne Moore, Bryan Cranston, Kerry Washington, Mark Ruffalo, Neil Patrick Harris, Shonda Rhimes, and Macklemore are among numerous famous names who have signed MoveOn.org Political Action's #UnitedAgainstHate campaign.

It is amazing the god status folks gift to actors.

I see a very large tax on Hollywood salaries in the future with some subsidies for the theaters.

Streep’s latest movie is about Florence Foster Jenkins.

Here is a real recording of the real Florence Foster Jenkins singing Mozart’s “Queen of the Night”.

If they had played this old 78 RPM record at the DNC instead of Streep’s speech, it would have been infinitely more pleasant to the listening audience:

I can see, I’m not the only one, who is reminded of characters such as Harry’s wife when I have to listen to HIllary lecturing and hectoring us.

I’ve never understood why people who deal in fantasy and delusion are accorded that status; and never will.

Hollywood is the biggest center of Groupthink on the planet.

all the other girl power speeches

The DNC made too many references to gender. Big mistake -- the whole event reeked of identity politics, and an agenda.

I am not voting for Trump because he is male. During the RNC the focus was on the country, not self-perceived "disadvantaged" groups.

After avoiding anything to do with Streep for years, I was considering seeing the new movie “Florence Foster Jenkins”, but now I just can’t bring myself to buy a ticket. I simply refuse to put another penny in the pocket of these insufferable assholes ever again.

I cannot think of one Meryl Streep movie I ever liked. She may be a good actress but she really never did anything I cared for.

Those were probably the only twp pictures I really watched. As for the rest of her career, NO!

Ditto.
I seem to remember her in a shower scene, cringing against a wall, crying... can’t place it.

Exactly! Remember the recent trip Streep took with Michelle and the girls on yet another vacation? I wonder if this appearance had anything to do with it? This Hollywood line up seems to be arranged by the white House just for Hillary.

A video of some of Meryl Streep’s homes.

I guarantee you this woman of the 1% has a bigger carbon footprint in one year than you and I have in 10. She uses all sorts of natural resources, security systems, and personal luxuries to make her life comfortable.

What a hypocrite.

Here is the vid:
