Meryl Streep (born June 22, 1949) is an actress, who by the mid-1980s was regarded by many as the best actress of her day, and remains so.
Born Mary Louise Streep in Summit, New Jersey, USA, Streep majored in drama at Vassar College and earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Drama. She appeared in her first films, Julia and The Deer Hunter in 1977, the latter of which would earn her her first Academy Award nomination, for Best Supporting Actress. Streep has since been nominated twelve more times--10 for Best Actress and 2 for Best Supporting Actress--making her the most-nominated actor of all time along with Katherine Hepburn. She won Academy Awards for her roles in Kramer vs. Kramer (Best Supporting Actress, 1979) and Sophie's Choice (Best Actress, 1982).
Streep's career continued to climb in the 1980s, appearing in Woody Allen's Manhattan, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Silkwood, Out of Africa, Ironweed, Postcards from the Edge, and playing Lindy Chamberlain in A Cry in the Dark, the movie telling of one of the greatest Australian mysteries ever - the disappearance of Chamberlain's baby daughter Azaria at Uluru, and her claims - later substantiated in court - that a dingo took the child. From 1984 to 1990, she won six People's Choice Awards for Favorite Motion Picture Actress and, in 1990, was named World-Favorite. Having been named on so many greatest movie star lists, Streep also defied expectations by her happy home life - marriage to sculptor Don Gummer, with four children; and her truthful approach toward the industry and her own presence within it. As she would say when collecting her Emmy award for Angels in America, "There are some days when even I think I'm overrated, but not today."
However, by 1990, her habit of performing marvellously without fail began to have an unusual effect, in that many critics begin to chide her for her tradition of playing 'cold' characters, and often those with accents - in short, characters that weren't humanized to the immediate audience. In the 1990s, therefore, Streep took to playing a variet of roles including farce in Death Becomes Her alongside Goldie Hawn, the movie version of Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, 1995's The Bridges of Madison County (largely regarded as her great comeback role), The River Wild - her first and only action film to date; and her noted comic turn in She-Devil.
However, that is not to say that Streep did not maintain her repuatation as an acting great - appearing in Marvin's Room, and completing another successful decade with Music of the Heart, for which she learned to play the violin.
By the year 2000, Streep was arguably the most recognised film actor in the world, and her status allowed to do a greater range of performance styles. Among them, she guest voiced a character in an episode of The Simpsons, and voiced the Blue Mecha in the Steven Spielberg-Stanley Kubrick film, A.I.; appeared alongside Nicolas Cage in Adaptation., played four different roles in the HBO adaptation of Tony Kushner's six-hour play Angels in America; starred alongside Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore in The Hours; and - in 2004 - took on two largely comedic roles, playing the character originated by Angela Lansbury in the remake of The Manchurian Candidate, and taking a role alongside Jim Carrey, Emily Browning and Jude Law in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. That same year, C. Virginia Fields - the President of the Manhattan Borough proclaimed May 27 of that year " Meryl Streep Day".
Streep currently has six different films in various stages of production for release in 2005 and 2006, and remains one of the most respected actors in history.
