An iconic figure in the Hollywood film industry, Meryl Streep requires no introduction of sorts. The most classic example of beauty with talent, Streep is by far the most prolific and greatest living film actress. Ever since her debut in the 1970s, she has been ruling the stage and big screen alike with her tremendous performance and top-class acting capability. Her ability to bring to life the characters and the panache with which she deals with each of them is commendable. Streep’s outstanding ability is profoundly visible from the fact that she has 21 nominations at Academy Awards (winning three) and 33 nominations at Golden Globe Awards (winning eight), which is the highest ever recorded nominations by an actor in the history of both the awards. Over her more than four decades long career, Meryl Streep has played a wide variety of roles, which has earned her the title of a ‘chameleon’, much unlike other actors who have preferred a singular identity in their films. What is interesting to note is that Streep has managed to play each of the roles convincingly and with perfection; her meticulous and painstaking preparation, zealous nature and attention to minute detailing aiding in the effort! More than fifty films old and still going strong, Streep has garnered commercial and critical success all through her career.
