[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersforDead to MeSeason 2.] In case you missed my spoiler-filledDead to MeSeason 2feature, I am very into the show. Not only have I fallen head over heels for Jen (Christina Applegate) and Judy (LindaCardellini), but I’m endlessly fascinated by the complexity of their friendship, which is constantly challenging the viewer to reevaluate right vs. wrong, when to forgive, and how to grow.

Despite her growing stature, when Universal Pictures set out to make the biographical filmOut of Africa, directed bySydney Pollack,who won an Oscar for it, Streep wasn’t a frontrunner to embody the indefatigable Danish authorKaren Blixen(also known under her pen nameIsak Dinesen) in her seventeen-year experience in the jungle-rich and picturesque colonial Kenya....
