It must be hard to have a narcissistic mom like Meryl Streep. In interviews, Mamie strikes me as someone suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. She knows that she is hugely burdened by her shallow mom (who sees to see herself as some sort of great artist despite the fact that she does nothing more than read lines that other people write for her). Poor Mamie probably feels like she has to "prove" that she can follow in her mom's footsteps. She seemed terrified to reveal the fact that her younger sister (who is much prettier than she is and doesn't even look like her mom) is studying acting at Yale. She is pr5b4obably terrified that she will be upstaged by her younger sister. I feel sorry for anyone in her situation.

I feel Mamie Gummer is a wonderful actress, as is her mother. How can you say that Meryl Streep cannot act? I have loved her since first seeing Kramer vs. Kramer. IMO she is an awesome actress. My favorite movie of hers is One True Thing. I don't agree with her politcally, but she is still a great actress. I just watched Ricki and The Flash again. I loved Mamie in that movie more than Meryl.
I think Mamie is a wonderful actress, but her career has definitely been hindered by having Meryl for her mother. I hope someday she'll be ankle to prove herself on her own merits.
