Is This A Teenage Meryl Streep At A ‘60s Beatles Concert?

Meryl Streep’s fans believe her first appearance on screen was at a Beatles concert in 1966 when CBS News interviewed concertgoers. Although she did not say anything aside from “no” after getting asked, “Honestly, are the Beatles on their way out?” one could assume the quiet girl in the frame was Meryl.

There have been counter-speculations about whether it was truly Meryl since her speech at the 32nd Grammy Awards points out that she saw the Fab Four a year before. Meryl also added that she held up a sign that read “I love you forever, Paul,” which is not in the viral video.

What Beatles concert of the ‘60s did Meryl Streep attend?

While presenting Paul McCartney with his Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in 1990, Meryl recalled her first time watching the Beatles perform. “I remember I sat in about the 116th row, and I had a better view of New Jersey than I did of the little stage that was set up on center field,” she explained. “But as indelibly as the words of those songs are written across my heart, I can remember the sight of those four boys running across the grass to the stage.”

“I can remember the roar that just rose up and surrounded those four boys for the next 25 years of our lives,” she added.

The band actually played at the Shea Stadium in 1965 and 1966. However, the latter was less “marvelous” than the former, which became a 50-minute long film. “It was the biggest crowd we ever played to, anywhere in the world. It was the biggest live show anybody’s ever done, they told us. And it was fantastic, the most exciting we’ve done,” Lennon said of the first show. “They could almost hear us as well, even though they were making a lot of noise because the amplification was tremendous.”

The subsequent show was underwhelming, with thousands of empty seats compared to the last, where the 56,000-capacity arena was overflowing with young adults and teens. “Well, it looks like the bloom is off the Beatles… not every 15-year-old in this area woke up this morning, had breakfast, put on a special outfit, and came out to Shea Stadium,” the interviewer who spoke to Meryl said. “But the thousands that did more than made up in enthusiasm for their lack of numbers.”
