Meryl Streep stars in Florence Foster JENKINS, arriving on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand today, December 13, 2016 from Paramount Home Media Distribution.
Moderated by the New York Times' (NYT) chief classical music critic Anthony Tommasini, three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, who plays the titular role of the tone-deaf operatic soprano Florence Foster Jenkins in the movie of the same name, recently talked about the connection between acting and music; her desire to work on an original theater piece on the Broadway stage, among other things, in 'TimesTalks.'
The third character in the unique trio at the heart of Florence Foster Jenkins is Cosme McMoon, Florence's high-anxiety accompanist. Simon Helberg was cast in the role in part because he is a rare double threat: a skilled comic actor who is also a talented pianist.
As Florence becomes more and more famous for her cacaphonous concerts, it falls to her manager and pseudo-husband St. Clair Bayfield to keep the 'mockers and scoffers' from upending her fantasy of magnificent artistry.
