Meryl Streep has some good advice for her daughter and other young women looking to showbiz as a career path.

Streep spoke to Extra on the red carpet - she was being honored by The Film Society of Lincoln Center.

About the honor, Streep exclaims, “It’s wonderful. It’s nerve-wracking. It’s exciting….It's kind of a combination funeral celebration.”

As for the best show business advice she has received, Streep reveals, “Robert Redford gave me good advice.

He said, ‘You don't have to talk to everybody that wants to talk to you. You don't have to go to everything and be photographed everywhere.’”

When asked who Streep would choose to play herself in an autobiographical film, the legendary actress jokes, “Somebody tall and thin.”

Streep admitted that her look-alike daughter, Mamie Gummer, is out of the running for the role joking that “she knows too much dirt.”
