Meryl Streep knew her daughter MAMIE would make a fabulous actress when she appeared naked in front of the press corps as a three-year-old. Streep's daughter recently won a theatre world award and showed her flair for drama early on. Her mother explains, "(In order to become an actor) you've got to start out with something weird inside you that makes you want to show off in this particular way. "When we lived in Australia, we were shooting CRY IN THE DARK and because the woman I was portraying was very famous, infamous in Australia, there was a lot of press coverage of our home. "We had a double height spiral staircase covered in glass and my daughter appeared there in front of the press corps nude at three. "And took a long, slow walk down the staircase. She was a chip off the old block!"
