Vanessa Marcil Instagram – So many incredible things have happened in my life after having the guts to leave a small town and an abusive upbringing. Here is one of them….. When I met Meryl Streep it was in her dressing room backstage at a play she was doing. I was dating a writer/director for 6 years after Kass was born and Meryl was the star of his latest movie. We had a great time with her that night never discussing business. Later that night when we got home we had already received an email from Meryl. She said what a great time she had and then said “If I’m not mistaken… Without her glasses on, your girlfriend portrays Sam Marquez on the show we watch every week.” (😳) “My family and I always say after each show, Well she’s the best actress” 🤯 Then she wrote “Whatever you do Ben, don’t fuck this one up” 😝 Yes, I fainted. Yes I framed the email and yes I went on to learn many things from Meryl. One- Don’t watch yourself on camera. Two- try to do every take differently Three- Stand for and with other women. Always. Four – she was right, Ben was in fact going to fuck up our relationship 😝 but all of THOSE details are for my book. My first book won’t be a memoir for now, out of respect for my son’s privacy but it will be about “Love” I’m so excited to share so many amazing stories with you all as truly I hope these stories will help you to know that we all deserve pure love in our lives. So just for today? Don’t ever ever give up. I love you Meryl and I love all of you, my female tribe. #ImWithYouSister #chickmafia Thx for this pic I’ve never seen @vanessamarcil.fans @sweetlikez I appreciate you. 🦋👑
