The ‘Emily in Paris’ star said Streep’s note was inspired by a beloved Broadway tradition.
Ashley Park is still processing a note Meryl Streep left for her over a year later.
Park and Streep both appear in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, which the Emily in Paris star spoke about during an appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s On Me podcast.
“You know how at the end of Broadway shows, when you leave a show, you have everyone sign your Playbill?” Park said. “It was a fake Playbill, inside was all ads or whatever. But I was like, ‘Oh, that’d be fun. Let me just do that.’ And everyone was signing their name and I gave it to Meryl and she signed it and she gave it back to me. And it said, ‘I see you, Ash.’”
Park continued, “She was just like, ‘I really, I really see you. You’re doing it.’ So that really made me realize, ‘Oh my gosh, anybody I interact with who might be looking up to me in that way, what a difference that can [make].’ Like still, it’s a year later, and it makes me want to cry.”
Park also referred to Streep as a “lovely” person, and spoke enthusiastically about having the chance to sing a duet with the Oscar-winner in the show’s third season.
“I was like, absolutely, I will do anything. I really don’t care,” Park said of the initial offer. In the show, the actress’ Kimber Min and Streep’s Loretta Durkin sang “Look for the Light,” an original song by Sara Bareilles, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, in Oliver Putnam (Martin Short)’s musical Death Rattle.
Park’s character will not return for season four, which began streaming this week, but Streep’s Loretta did return.
