Mamie and Meryl in Hearburn


I feel like one of the only people on the planet whose seen this movie, and whats more, love it!! For those who dont know, its got Mamie as like a 1 1/2 year old playing Meryl's character Rachel's, baby, Annie.

Its funny, coz i kept wondering why on earth the baby (Mamie) called Meryl 'Mama' ... how would they train a baby to do that? And she was credited Natalie Stern or summin instead of Mamie Gummer ... nah, but it were proper mom n child HAHAHAHAHA with the fabulous Jack Nicholson playing the cheating dad, Mark.

Honestly, i've seen this film like a dozen times. I suppose i love it coz its like a really, really good tv drama and Jack and Meryl are so funny and brilliant on screen together!!!!!! and baby Mamie's real sweet, but then again, what baby isn't?!?! ... random comment, but theres this todler i know who was the UGLIEST baby EVER ... well, apart from my sister who was nicknamed 'dumper-truck' (!) by my mom coz she was so ugly when she was born ... all wrinkly. urgh. of course, i on the other hand was beautiful!! :D

Love Heartburn, one of my 80s favorites and an underrated Meryl performance. I knew her daughter played her daughter, so cute!

She sings the Istsy Bitsy Spider on a airplane!

But the film is Depressing. Nicholson’s character is irredeemably awful.
