Meryl Streep



Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep in Bridges of the Madison County.
@Warner Bros/Everette


Meryl Streep is one of my favourite actresses of all time.
Kramer vs Kramer was the first film I saw of Meryl, and have always admired the ease with which she portrays the characters. I haven't seen all her films, but her roles in Out of Africa, French Lieutenant's Woman, and Death Becomes Her stand out. I had read the novel Bridges of the Madison County a long time ago, but finally managed to see the film last year. Meryl is awesome in the film. She has been nominated 16 times for the Academy Awards, and that speaks a lot about her acting abilities. Here's a Time magazine gallery that is worth checking out: Meryl Streep’s Golden Career

You must watch julia and julie..she does such a convincing job as julia child...and then again, no one could have done the haughty fashion editor's role better than her in Devil Wears Prada...or even better still her character in the Clocks..The other day I saw her latest film, Its Complicated, with Alec Baldwin..Again, she makes the others in the movie pale...

She is my favourite actress of all times...
