When you think of a list of the best actors of all time, Meryl Streep is sure to be on it, quite possibly in the top spot. That doesn’t make her infallible on set. Icons are people too, and they can sometime forget a line in a pivotal moment while shooting a movie with another formidable talent. It’s not surprising to hear no one is perfect, but it’s funny that Doubt co-star Viola Davis, herself an Oscar winner, had a moment during filming when she didn't want to call out the other actress.
Doubt is one of those heavy-hitter movies that resulted in strong reviews and later Oscar nominations for Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Amy Adams and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and the cast was widely praised for their performances, so you know everyone was bringing their A-game to the set of that 2008 release. From writer/director John Patrick Shanley, who adapted from his own Tony-winning play, Streep plays Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the parish school principal, with Davis in the role of Mrs. Miller, mother of the school’s first black student, Donald.
