In a note to her former drama teacher, she wrote, "He has very wonderful care, and I try not to stand around wringing my hands, but I am worried all the time and pretending to be cheery all the time, which is more exhausting mentally, physically, emotionally than any work I've ever done."After Cazale's passing, Streep's brother enlisted the help of his friend, Gummer, to assist in packing up items from the apartment she once shared with her late boyfriend.
