Los Angeles Jan 22 (IANS) Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep helped filmmaker Steven Spielberg find an exorcist to rid his home of a ghost.

"When I worked on A.I. Artifical Intelligence I went and recorded the voice of the fairy at his place in Long Island. All we did was talk about how his house was haunted and did I know a ghostbuster. And of course I do. So I sent him an exorcist " Streep told Empire magazine.

Streep s ghost-removing expert was able to help the director reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Everything is clear down there now " she added.

Her latest movie titled "The Post" is her first time in front of the camera for Spielberg and the Oscar-winning actress said she was "completely unprepared" for his approach to filmmaking including a lack of rehearsal process.

"In my mind he had a settled grandeur - a filmmaker who was so important had this incredible CV and always talks about this well-oiled machine. So I was completely unprepared for how improvisatory his work is how it is created in the moment.

"Someone was going like this (tapping) with a pencil. We d done one take and he decided That s going to be the percussive energy of the scene. Everything is going to rev to that. I thought How? And the whole thing changed. It was exciting to work with him " Streep said.
