- TriviaDoree Sitterly assisted animal trainer Hubert G. Wells on the location feature film "Out of Africa." Involved in the filming with the lions, as an animal trainer, she became Meryl Streep's film double. When the company put her in wardrobe, the first assistant director said, "Sidney Pollack is sitting out on the lawn. I'm going to tell him Merl wants to speak to him." When Doree approached Pollack about ten feet away from him before he looked with a quizzical smirk on his face and said, "Wait a minute." No one had known Sitterly had studied Streep's mannerisms and could easily be her double. Pollack started having Sitterly do everything Meryl didn't want to do. Sitterly often says, "That was probably one of the highlights of my career. 'Out of Africa' is such a beautiful movie, and I'm so proud to have been a part of it".
