When we graduate high school, one of the very best things about moving on is leaving behind all that drama.

About Mamie Gummer (Emily Owens):
When someone asks which actress is the greatest if our time, a few names come to mind and 9 times out of 10, one of those named will be Meryl Streep. Imagine wanting to be an actor and having the opportunity to learn from this incredible woman. Mamie Gummer happens to be the daughter of the Oscar-winning, legendary film actress and clearly, the talent lives on in this rising star. Mamie had a successful stage career (on and off Broadway) before breaking into television and films. Her film credits include The Hoax, Taking Woodstock, Stop-Loss.
