While promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 alongside Stanley Tucci on Journal de 20 heures, the Oscar winner was handed a tablet by host Laurent Delahousse and told to press play. What she saw made her clutch her chest and tear up on live air. The video came from Jennifer Lawn Lejeune, the actress who played Streep's daughter Eva Zawistowska in the 1982 drama Sophie's Choice. Lejeune was 4 years old when she filmed the role. She now lives in France, where she works in finance.
Streep, watching the woman speak, asked the host quietly, "That's the child?" Her eyes welled. "What a gift," she said.
Why 'Sophie's Choice' Still Hits
Lejeune appeared in the harrowing flashback in which Sophie is forced to choose which of her two children survives. In a 2014 Blu-ray commentary, Lejeune said the separation scene was shot 13 times.
Theaters in 4 Days
For all the fashion and the spectacle on the press tour, the Journal de 20 heures moment cut through differently. Forty-four years after the cameras stopped rolling on a 4-year-old playing her daughter, the bond translated through a screen.
