A Villager wiil be played by Meryl Streep in the film Henry Ford's Watch. The fim begins with the Villager in the back seat of a 30's Ford in a 2003 festival of lights parade at the Ford Edison Museum in Fort myers. Her husband has been chosen to drive the car leading the parade, but the old car dies whenever its lights are turned on. The crowd jeers. Comedians.
Ms. Streep is embarrassed, livid. She married into the Ford family, but she had never liked the man. She knew too much.
