(Howard Rollins), and his struggle for justice after racist city firemen vandalize his vehicle without punishment. It primarily follows an African American ragtime piano player, Coalhouse Walker Jr. Doctorow and directed by Miloš Forman, the film takes place in the 1910s New York. It's not too difficult to imagine why Meryl would've been interested in a film like Ragtime. We don't learn for which role Meryl had been cast, but I suspect it was likely for the part I originally intended to select, that of "Mother." Mary Streenburgen ultimately portrayed the character in the film. And I honestly don't even remember how I happened to come across the interview, but after doing so, I was even more confident in my choice.
I had already planned to include this film in the 'supporting' version of my recasting project by the time I saw this clip.

Meryl provides the example of when she had been cast in a movie called Ragtime, which she dropped out of after finding out she was pregnant with her first child, Henry. It's the first question in the interview and comes within the first minute: In a 2015 interview for Ricki and the Flash, Meryl Streep was asked a question about whether there was ever a project she really wanted to do but ultimately turned down because it was the right choice for her family.
