Even packed into a pure-diva cast that includes Vanessa Redgrave, Glenn Close, Toni Collette, Claire Danes, and Meryl Streep, up-and-comer Mamie Gummer sparklesand it's not just because shes Streeps daughter.
The 23-year-old New Yorker acknowledges that her heritage is part of her draw. I already have stalkersquite a few, she says, lamenting her decision to create a MySpace site. Theyre all sort of Meryl-obsessed and very excited about the prospect of me. But the delicate, milky-skinned costar of Evening holds the screen in a way thats all her own.

Then came a bit part in Hoax, a recent flick starring Richard Gere, though this new rolealong with one in Kimberly Peirces upcoming soldier drama, Stop Lossmarks her true crossover into film. Im still trying to figure out how to occupy that weird space, she says of the transition between stage and screen.
In Eveningbased on the Susan Minot novel and with a screenplay by Michael Cunninghama dying woman named Ann Grant Lord (Redgrave) drifts in and out of morphine-laced memories of her 1950s youth, an incarnation portrayed by Danes. Gummer is Anns fresh-faced pal Lila Wittenbornplayed in the present by Streep.

Though she's spent the beginnings of her career distancing herself from mom, Gummer has decided to make peace with the inevitable. I was like, fuck it. Let's put it right out on the table, and then maybe people can get over it, she says, pointing out her fans and critics alike can now compare mother and child side by side. They can say, Weve seen this realized.
