Meryl took nine-whole-minutes to dress down the long dead Walt Disney at the hoity-toity National Board of Review dinner in New York City yesterday. The aging maven was supposed to honor Emma Thompson who took part in the Disney film, Saving Mr Banks.
The bespectacled Meryl said of the British actress, ‘...Emma makes you want to kill yourself, because she’s a beautiful artist...’ Are those the meds talking again?
But Meryl wasn't really there for Emma. The goofy granny took out a letter written in 1938 in which the fledgeling Walt Disney had directed that women not be involved in the 'creative' end of the business.
Meryl has apparently been fomenting and festering for Mr Disney. She snapped that Walt was a ‘hideous anti-Semite’ who ‘formed and supported an anti-Semitic industry lobby. And he was certainly, on the evidence of his company’s policies, a gender bigot’.
Wow! Wonder what she thinks of Mel Blanc (voice of Elmer Fudd)?
After thanking Streep for her 'tribute', Thompson noted New York's record-low temperatures. ‘It’s such a cold night, It’s the only time I’ve been actively grateful for the menopause.' Rough the menopause didn't protect Meryl from the cold.
