Why is she special?
Unlike some of her peers who float by on their reputations alone, Meryl actively challenges herself to create unique characters every time she accepts a new role. “I feel that I've been given this ability to translate a lot of different lives onto the screen,” she says. “I like to imagine doing that in the bodies of a lot of different kinds of women.”
Why we know her?
Two-time Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep is America’s most decorated actress. The multitalented star has been nominated for 13 Oscars and 20 Golden Globes, and she earned the prestigious American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. It’s little wonder that Diane Keaton has called her "my generation's genius" and that Robert Redford has raved, “There's simply no finer craftsman in the business. She's as good as it gets.”

In Greece With 'mamma Mia!' Star Meryl Streep!
Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:07:19 | Rate news: +0
Audiences who watch 'Mamma Mia!' are swept away on celluloid to the beautiful blue skies, white rocky cliffs and turquoise water of the Greek islands -- and "The Insider"'s own Lara Spencer is soaking up the sun on location with Meryl Streep in anticipation of this summer's musical masterpiece! "It's one of the most beautiful places I've been in my life," says Meryl of their idyllic location, adding that everyone in the cast bonded easily. "We had fantastic dinners at tavernas, where would could sit 16 people together, and we ate together every night, and there was a lot of great dancing." In theaters July 18, 'Mamma Mia!' is based on the hit Broadway musical, itself inspired by the incredibly catchy music of Abba. Featuring such sing-along classics as "Dancing Queen," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "SOS" and, of course, "Mamma Mia," the story follows an independent, single mother (Meryl) and her spirited, about-to-be-married daughter (Amanda Seyfried) who is determined to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard are the three candidates, all of whom were involved with Meryl's character 20 years earlier when they visited her Mediterranean paradise. Julie Walters and Christine Baranski round out the cast as Meryl's best girlfriends, with Dominic Cooper as Amanda's handsome fiancé. Meryl tells Lara that she used to listen to Abba back in the days of drama school when she'd be in exercise class "because that music does get you pumping when you're lazy," and adds with a smile that sometimes those catchy tunes "go into your head and lodge there, and I thought I knew them all, but I had some of the lyrics wrong [and] they pointed it out to me." So, which is her favorite Abba song? "God, I don't know," she says. "'Dancing Queen' was like the iconic great song. It was impossible to maintain your gloom, or even try as I might to go down." Watch "The Insider" on TV Monday night for more with Meryl and Lara!

Film Society Tribute To Meryl Streep With Amy Adams & Uma Thurman
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:06:48 | Rate news: +0
The stars were out to support Meryl Street at the Film Society's Tribute to the two-time Oscar-winning actress at Avery Fisher Hall in NY last night. The Film Society's website says that the evening honored Streep's "remarkable career with selected film highlights, onstage salutes by friends and colleagues and personal remarks by Meryl Streep."

The night featured a "Cocktail Buffet" and "Supper Dance" along with the tribute to Streep. Proceeds went to the Film Society.

I love Amy Adams and think she looks gorgeous here. She really was lovely at the Oscars and her look is both classy and playful.

Other luminaries at the event included Uma Thurman in a black wrap dress with a subtle silver chain belt, and Glenn Close in a floor length navy gown with an elegant button down jacket. I'm not too fond of Streep's dress and think the cut is not flattering for her, but the night was all about her so she gets a pass.
