In her newest movie, "Florence Foster Jenkins," Meryl Streep can barely carry a tune as she squeaks and squawks her way through classic opera music. But she wouldn't necessarily consider that an insult.
The Academy Award-winning actress plays the titular role of Florence, a real heiress who cultivated New York's music scene in the 1940s and harbored her own dreams of becoming a famous singer. The problem? Jenkins was objectively terrible and arguably delusional.
Streep said at a news conference at Roppongi Hills on Monday that she shares the same dream of singing that Jenkins did.
