How did the Gummer girls break into Hollywood?


I do wonder how those two Gummer girls managed to break into Hollywood.

They are not conventionally attractive, and getting your foot in the door is very hard even for really attractive people. It's a tough business.

Anyone know how the Gummer girls managed to push through and (both) make it in Hollywood?

It should be an interesting success story and I would like to hear it.

Their mommy, Meryl streep

Yes! She is one of my favorites along with Armie Hammer and the Smith kids.

I would love to hear their stories. I bet hearing about their hardships could really be uplifting to other struggling actors.

They just wouldn't give up, no matter the cost. It's all about perserverence!

I bet they had to work a lot of really sh!tty survival jobs while waiting for that big break, too.

Yeah.

They don't use their mothers name and star quality at all! They don't mention her in interviews, they hardly ever make a public appearance together

I thought the same thing but it's clearly their mother's influence that got them jobs. Like their mom they are really plain Janes but there are supporting roles for people like them. I've never seen Meryl play a really difficult role so who knows why she's been so successful.

What is a "really difficult role"?
