The unexpected has happened. She’s turned 60 last year, and whether you want to believe it or not, she is the world’s Superstar today. How come an actress over 40, or in her case, 60, has become the world’s most wanted and bankable movie star? So, whatever happened to the belief that when you’re one of the greatest actresses in the world, your films don’t make money?
But it’s true! Meryl Streep, the world’s greatest living actress according to critics and moviegoers, is still at the top of her game. And here are some of the reasons to support this claim:
1. She is the most nominated actress in the Academy Awards with 16 nominations and won 2 for Sophie’s Choice and Kramer vs Kramer.
2. Her performance in Sophie’s Choice is regarded as the best performance in the history of 20th Century Motion Picture.
3. She holds the record for the most Golden Globe wins with 7 wins in different category.
4. She is the lead star of the most successful women-driven and produced of all time, Mamma Mia.
5. She stole every scene she’s in in all the movies she has made. Who remembers Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada by the way?
And if you don’t have anything to do this Holy Week, why not try a movie marathon of all the films of Meryl Streep starting from The Deer Hunter to last year’s Julie and Julia. It’s the best way to relax and enjoy your vacation.
