Meryl Streep


Hollywood star Meryl Streep was left in shock by a television study of her family tree. It uncovered family links to movie legend Mike Nichols, who is one of her best friends. Meryl agreed to be part of top U.S. genealogist Henry Louis Gates , Jr’s new documentary Faces of America, but she had no idea his research would suggest she and Nichols are cousins. The two have worked on four films together. After learning the news during the taping of the upcoming special, Streep shrieked and said, "This is ridiculous!" Gates’ studies also uncovered ancestral links between revered cellist Yo-Yo Ma and actress Eva Longoria Parker.
