The Sleepless in Seattle star told Moore: “I said to Tom, ‘Okay, if something happens and I go first, I just have two requests. And one is that you …

For today, it seems, I am Meryl Streep. “Are you a musician?” she asks me suddenly. Nothing serious, I tell her. Just a bit of piano. She leans forward animatedly: “You shouldn’t say that, OK? ‘Nothing serious.’ Those are …
