Saoirse Ronan Fangirled Over Working With Meryl Streep on 'Little Women'

Saoirse Ronan gets a scare from a shadowy figure during her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing TODAY, Wednesday, October 30th.

During her interview, the 25-year-old actress revealed what it was like working with Meryl Streep, who plays Aunt March.

“I was like ‘It’s going to be great and it’s going to be lovely to have this one scene with her’ and it was,” Saoirse revealed about working with Meryl on the movie. “We did it and I kind of kept my cool because I had to and we needed to make sure the scene was just right.”

She adds, “When they called ‘Cut’ on the last set up and they were going to check it and move on, suddenly I was like ‘Oh my god I got to work with Meryl Streep’ and it all sort of hit me then.”

FYI: Saoirse wore a Derek Lam look with Alexandre Birman shoes and Irene Neuwirth bracelet.
