"[A] rolllicking history of Streep's early years... a love letter to a great actress and a behind-the-scenes study of iconic movies like Kramer vs. Kramer." -- People

In 1975 Meryl Streep was finding her place in the New York theater scene. Burning with talent and ambition, she was like dozens of aspiring actors of the time -- a twenty-something beauty who rode her bike everywhere, napped before performances, and stayed out late "talking about acting with actors in actors' bars." Yet Meryl stood apart from her peers. In her first season in New York, she won parts in back-to-back Broadway plays, a Tony Award nomination, and two roles in Shakespeare in the Park productions. Even then, people said, "Her. Again."

Her Again is an intimate look at the artistic coming-of-age of the greatest actress of her generation, from the homecoming float at her suburban New Jersey high school, through her early days on the stage at Vassar College and the Yale School of Drama to her star-making roles in The Deer Hunter, Manhattan, and Kramer vs. Kramer.

New Yorker writer Michael Schulman brings into focus Meryl's heady rise to stardom, her tragically short-lived love affair with fellow actor John Cazale; her marriage to sculptor Don Gummer; and her evolution as a young woman of the 1970s wrestling with changing ideas of feminism, marriage, love, and sacrifice.

Featuring eight pages of black-and-white photos, this captivating story offers a rare glimpse into the life of the actress long before she became an icon.
