Lunch Break Video: Scenes from “Postcards From the Edge”

If you have never seen Postcards from the Edge starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine, this 10 minute clip of from the film gives you a good idea of why I love it so much and have watched it probably more than any other movie in my life!

Yes, I can do most of the dialogue! Meryl was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as a recovering addict actress loosely based on Carrie Fisher (who wrote the script and the novel it is based on). Shirley should have been nominated for her role as the domineering movie star mother m- very loosely based on Carrie’s mom, Debbie Reynolds.
