The Mamma Mia soundtrack would have sold twice as much if it weren't for Meryl her vocals. Lord, no wonder she lost the role of Evita to Madonna out of all people.

That's a bit harsh, loosing a role to the qween of pop is an honor
Movie mogul DINO DE LAURENTIIS was so appalled when a young MERYL STREEP was brought in to audition for him for KING KONG - he called her a "pig".
The moviemaker/producer, who eventually picked Jessica Lange for the role in the 1976 film, thought he was being clever by using Italian to convey his disgust - but Streep understood every word.
She tells America's Entertainment Weekly magazine, "He said, 'Why did you send me this pig? This woman is so ugly... so I looked at him and I said, 'I'm very sorry that I disappoint you.'
"He was so used to treating girls like bimbos (and) never imagined that a blonde person could speak Italian."
