Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Peter MacNicol Honor the 40th Anniversary of ‘Sophie’s Choice’: ‘It Is as Relevant as Ever’
Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol reunited to honor 'Sophie's Choice' as the film turns 40.
Like much better dressed students, Ethan Hawke, Cate Blanchett, Claire Danes, Holland Taylor and Sarita Choudhury filed into the basement theater at the Museum of Modern Art on Tuesday to honor an acting legend.

It was a trio of fallen friends that included Alan J. Pakula, the film’s director, producer and writer, William Styron, the novelist who dreamed up Sophie, and Nestor Almendros, the cinematographer who battled back blindness to fill the frames with moody blue shading and autumnal hues.
