Meryl Streep

Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep (born June 22, 1949) is an American actress. A three-time Academy Award winner, she is regarded as the "best actress of her generation". Streep made her professional stage debut in The Playboy of Seville in 1971, and went on to receive a 1976 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play for A Memory of Two Mondays/27 Wagons Full of Cotton. She made her screen debut in the 1977 television film The Deadliest Season, and made her film debut later that same year in Julia. In 1978, she won an Emmy Award for her role in the miniseries Holocaust, and received her first Academy Award nomination for The Deer Hunter. Nominated for 19 Academy Awards in total, Streep has more nominations than any other actor or actress in history, winning Best Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), and Best Actress for Sophie's Choice (1982) and for The Iron Lady (2011).

Streep is one of only six actors to have won three or more competitive Academy Awards for acting. Her other nominated roles are The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981), Silkwood (1983), Out of Africa (1985), Ironweed (1987), A Cry in the Dark (1988), Postcards from the Edge (1990), The Bridges of Madison County (1995), One True Thing (1998), Music of the Heart (1999), Adaptation (2002), The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Doubt (2008), Julie & Julia (2009), August: Osage County (2013), and Into the Woods (2014). She returned to the stage for the first time in over 20 years in The Public Theater's 2001 revival of The Seagull, won a second Emmy Award in 2004 for the HBO miniseries Angels in America (2003), and starred in the Public Theater's 2006 production of Mother Courage and Her Children. As an actress, Streep is particularly known for her chameleonic approach to her roles, transformation into the characters she plays, and her perfection of accents.

Famous quotes by Meryl Streep:

"It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead."

"I like who I am now. Other people may not. I'm comfortable. I feel freer now. I don't want growing older to matter to me."

"It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician."

"The work will stand, no matter what."

"Instant gratification is not soon enough."

"Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials."

"Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too."

"You can't get spoiled if you do your own ironing."

"Expensive clothes are a waste of money"

"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy."

"I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot."

"How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception."

"Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference."

"I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you."

"My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible."

"If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try."

"The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process."

"People say, When you have children, everything changes. But maybe things are awakened that were already there."

"I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts."

"I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other."

Meryl Streep

I was cheated by you and I think you know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not've let you go.
I was angry inside when I knew we were through
I can't count all the times I've cried over you
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not've let you go
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not've let you go
