In episode 5 Only murders in the building we see Loretta’s apartment, played by Meryl Streep, full of easter eggs dedicated to her career as an actress.
Production designer Rich Murray revealed to Variety a series of Easter eggs hidden in the apartment linked to the actress’s vast and varied career.
“Suffragettes” – 2015
The framed kitchen towel is a tribute to the 2015 film Suffragette, in which Streep played British political activist Emmeline Pankhurst.
Kramer vs. Kramer – 1979
Tribute to Kramer vs. Kramer” is on the door of Loretta’s refrigerator.
Murray commented:
He faithfully mimics the bulletin board above his son Billy Kramer’s bed in the film. And there’s a Christmas card from his character Billy. We then recreated this map and hung images around it.
“Julie and Julia” – 2009
The tulips on Loretta’s desk are an Easter egg from the 2009 film Julie & Julia starring Streep and Stanley Tucci.
“My Africa” - 1985
As a tribute to the Strip’s heroine Karen Blixen, in the 1985 film Out of Africa, Murray upholstered the ottoman with Kenyan coffee-patterned burlap. This is because his character lived on a coffee plantation.
The Devil Wears Prada – 2006
Of course, Murray had to pay homage to the iconic Streep character in The Devil Wears Prada. There is indeed a movie logo on the edges of the book series in the library.
Created by Steve Martin, Dan Fogelman and John Hoffman, Only Murders in the Building follows three strangers (Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez) who share the same obsession with the true crime genre and suddenly find themselves involved in a murder . When a gruesome death occurs at their exclusive Upper West Side mansion, the three suspect murder and use their vast knowledge of the true crime genre to investigate. While recording a podcast documenting the case, the three uncover the mysteries of the palace regarding events that took place many years ago. Perhaps the lies the main characters tell each other could be even more explosive. They quickly realize that the killer may be hiding among them and try to decipher the evidence before it’s too late.
Only Murders in the Building was co-written and written by Steve Martin and John Hoffman (Grace and Frankie, The Search). Martin and Hoffman are executive producers along with Martin Short, Selena Gomez, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.
