Henry is a musician, while Mamie and Grace have both become actresses. She is the youngest daughter of legendary actress Meryl Streep and esteemed sculptor Don Gummer.

In conversation with Tatler In 2022, Louisa reflected on the constant comparisons to her mother Meryl. “It will be like this for the rest of my life,” she noted.

“For as long as I can remember, this question of 'Do I deserve what I have?' has been around. But I think of Jane Fonda and how she made a name for herself. And there were many [other] People who have been able to go their own way – like Sofia Coppola. I think it just takes time and not reading Twitter and just focusing on what I want to achieve as an artist.”
