'The Gilded Age' Star Louisa Jacobson Recalls Her 'Fury' at Mom Meryl Streep Over Devastating Move Away From Childhood Home
Briefly

Louisa Jacobson experienced anger towards her mother, Meryl Streep, when the family relocated from a sprawling New England home to a multimillion-dollar townhouse in New York City. At age 9, Jacobson was uprooted from a childhood filled with nature and creative space. She treasured the expansive countryside, where she played freely and developed her imagination with her siblings. She reminisced about sketching still lifes set up by her father and listening to his imaginative stories, which contributed to her creative upbringing despite her frustration over the move.
"We lived in the country, so there was plenty of room to run around and play. That let my imagination run free. I had lots of friends nearby, and I played with my older siblings..."
"Each night after dinner, my dad would set up a still life on the kitchen table and we'd sketch it. Our finished works went up on a kitchen wall."
