“I said, ‘Are you crazy?
I would love to do this.’
It was a done deal,” she told theDaily Record.

Nevertheless, Jacobson, like her sisters, discovered a love of acting all on her own.
Growing up in an artistic family, Jacobson was used to performing spontaneously with her siblings at home.
Then, in middle school, she got the chance to star in “The Wizard of Oz.”
“There was a Dorothy for the beginning, middle and end.
I was one of them and I had a blast doing that,” she told Vanguard Culture.
“And I graduated and worked in advertising for two years in an office.”
After graduating, she got a nine-to-five job in an advertising agency.
Her sister, Mamie Gummer, toldThe Telegraphat the time, “She’s a little young professional.”
But, as Jacobson toldTown & Country, she continued auditioning and modeling on the side.
“Yeah, I think all New Yorkers have a deep issue with control.”
And, in her time living in New York, Jacobson has picked up some real New York wisdom.
She doesn’t trust the subway.
She knows to never stop on the sidewalk.

On the red carpet, Streep spoke fondly about her daughter.
“This is my date, Louisa,” shegushed.
“This is my baby!”
Later on, during theshow, Jacobson is seen smiling and clapping next to her mother.
It’s clear that the two have always been super close!
“I think more than rebellious, Marian is curious …
I definitely, as a kid, was very curious about everything,” she told “Today.”
Curiosity isn’t the only thing that Jacobson has in common with Marian.
She’s also extremely nice.
Jacobson described herself as a “boring, good person” who would never spread gossip.
In fact, she thinks Marian is even nicer than she is.
You’re too nice.'"
And, apparently, when she was in character, Jacobson found her pretty terrifying.
“Although she did say on many occasions that she was terrified of me.”
Apparently, Streep even wrote to Baranski to tell her she was scaring her daughter!
Speaking withInterview Magazine, Jacobson confirmed this was true, saying she was “most intimidated” by Baranski.
“I’m such a history geek,” she explained toVogue.
When it came to preparing for her role, Jacobson was in her element.
She even got herself a membership to the New York Public Library for some in-depth historical research.
No wonder Jacobson gives such a truthful performance!
Luckily, she comes from a family of actors who were more than happy to offer some tips.
I have a whole notebook full of it."
In fact, getting advice from her mom proved invaluable during the shoot.

Apparently, this advice from the master helped!
In fact, Jacobson even wore a corset around her home to get ready for the shoot.
“I tried to sneeze and it imploded!”
On set, things got even worse.
However, after a while, she realized it was too tight.
Apparently, Jacobson was actually struggling to sleep because her ribs hurt so much.
