It also concerns Streep that the part most people have seen her play is one she found less than gratifying - the role of Inga in “Holocaust”. “I did it for the money. I need it very badly, and I make no bones about that. She defines the fame the show has brought her as “something surreal”. “The other day I was riding my bike through Chelsea when these four guys in a Volkswagen started yelling at me out of the window, ‘Hey, Holocaust, hey, Holocaust!’ Can you imagine? It’s absurd that that episode in history can be reduced to people screaming out of car windows at an actress.
