My favorite actress. She had played so many different characters and like he said…she becomes them. You don’t see Meryl, you see the character she is playing.

[@ratherbepaddling3]

She is truly an artist Thank you Meryl for all you have given us. We adore you and our girls do too.

[@tbecker97204]

Meryl, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis were just *GOLDEN* in *"Death Becomes Her."*

[@ZanUzadi]

My favorite of Meryl's acting performances of all her powerful performances is her performance in “Ironweed” as Helen Archer, the homeless woman. No one in the world can play that role as skillfully as she did. I don’t know why the movie didn’t do well at the box office. I love you Maryl 🙏👏🏻🎭🥰

[@musicalcontessa4275]

Meryl Streep----she's still endlessly beautiful, wonderful, compelling----I first loved her in Holocaust (1978)

[@woodsonboy8]

She one of a kind. My favorite actress.

[@jacquelinehelgaJohnson-V-ho9ve]

I Saw this interview when it came out several years ago ; Meryl is Indeed the epítome of a dynamic and diverse artist ; admired by MANY & rightly SO.

[@adelaferreira4575]

[@b991228]

She has been awarded the G.O.A.T.

[@LidiaScherArt]

She is a truly amazing human! ❤

[@jhk3594]

To me, Margaret Thatcher was a polarizing figure.

[@Danuta628]

She is one soulful mama ❤

[@nicolejacques5465]

One of The Very Best …A True Iconic Legend!!!!🎉❤

[@SuperExadidas]

Likeable..inspiring….convincing… smart..the best and greatest actor.

[@idoasberger1015]

The pinnacle of acting any actors and actreeses have achieved,for me is Meryl Streep in her leading role in the movie "Shopie's Choice"

[@sandrabarnett1499]

The best actor

[@NicholasWilliams-kd3eb]

This is good stuff. Great content.

[@ons6370]

[@58dbutcher]

I love Meryl, she’s so real.❤

[@Darscm]

Meryl Streep the actress is amazing. Streep the person was delightful in the interview.

[@linnetmbotto7212]

The Iron Lady movie came our years ago it is not a current movie, I loved it by the way.

[@Mary-nm8vb]

Best actress ever!

[@ml4rocky]

Meryl is fabulous!

[@VintageTexas59]

First class lady and actor, has style, elegance and perfect performance in each movie.

[@ReneeKadlubek-gt9qm]

Excellent focus and so proud of the direction female Hollywood ladies took this repeatedly during the last decade knowing what they did and what was at stake.

[@paulwilfridhunt]

I loved it.

[@guyguy8321]

I liked her as an actress, but since she criticized one man's behaviour with women and on the other side joked about a predator's behaviour with actresses (women) and was friend with him and hugging him... my respect for her is gone !

[@jamesalex5051]

good said "Mona Liza smile" her answer was its a good thing to have something mysterious little mysterious about Me then again Every human being have that so True. She still is so humble and yet so relatable

[@paintb0x]

This interviewer would risk it all

[@KCNwokoye]

Fascinating and excellent Meryl. One of one.

[@xelamercedes]

One of the greats.

[@JLTravels]

Love Meryl…greatest actress of all time!

[@Marolaisabel]

Me encanta Meryl Streep! Me encantaría verla en un papel hablando Español. Es tan versátil que estoy segura pudiera hacer el papel de una latina. A real challenge!

[@Ozymandi_as]

Creo que expresó su deseo de jugar a Llorca y dijo que quería aprender español. Sin embargo, no tengo conocimiento de que haya progresado en sus estudios.

[@misty_loves_]

❤❤LOVE MERYL PERFECT ACTRESS ❤❤

[@bobwalker5694]

This devine woman's emotional intelligence is off the charts....

Great actor

[@brooklynbred1460]

Such a privileged life. So lucky

[@themarquis336]

Since when is Dame a Royal Title? Americans: they understand nothing but talk about everything anyway…

[@oceanlover3530]

Meryl! ❤️👍🏻❤️

[@Rosiedelaroux]

It’s about time she retired -

[@angelo8424]

Meryl's fantastic-A consummate actor.

[@CactusGal]

I'd love to know her secret: she's always bubbly, delightful, smiling, witty. I don't know how she does it...but I'd like to!

[@donareisya2286]

Meryl streep 🌹

[@MichelleT-so4we]

I liked Out Of Africa. The woman tried to help her staff and NOT just throw away their lives.

[@CactusGal]

I just watched this on TCM the other day. You forget how good it is.

[@ReneeKadlubek-gt9qm]

Remember the name? Jimmy vs. Hitler?

[@bpure2560]

An annual hyped up competition for a glossy statue. 😂

[@JillKnapp]

Or, it's people working hard to tell a cool story, maybe to show how we're more similar than different, and help us understand each other a little better. (And sometimes it is also to take a little break from the world and just be silly, or nerdy, or sad, or a superhero, or a stoner, or a kid growing up on Tattooine and blowing up the Death Star for 2 hours). It's less about the trophy and more for the story.

[@daveburrows9876]

I admire you a lot, Meryl, but women in leadership positions has nothing to do with my contempt for PM Thatcher.

[@sandy-ke1kr]

This interview was in 2011 where people could just talk without so much hate and intolerance of people with different views. Different time. Better times in my opinion. She probably wouldn't do this movie today and she probably would have nothing nice to say about Thatcher because they probably cancel her.

[@kathycourtney2]

Came here to say ugh. She just loves Roman P.

[@VictoriaN72]

❤❤❤❤

[@elroy9186]

"The movie business has worked deciduously to discourage you and other intelligent discerning people from the theater, they have worked hard to get rid of you because you don't go then to buy toys and games." That's neat

[@user-tf4yy7qx4f]

Deciduously, huh? LOL!!! (You meant "assiduously." "Deciduous" is a type of tree. ;-)

[@LINDAOZAG]

I wonder if she is real? Would have liked to work with her as a background actor. She seems so good, nice and excellent. Fun to be with, I bet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))

[@jimmycain8669]

No creep like an old creep.

[@daveburrows9876]

Sounds like you have a lot of experience with old creeps.

[@jodelynnemendoza2496]

I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 30k in crypto and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.

[@jen_sen8508]

give me money

[@maryavalon6280]

I have to say, Meryl Streep has NEVER been, in any way shape or form, an actor of interest, to me.

[@cynthiajones4332]

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. Romans 1:28 Are you afraid of dying? Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19

[@daveburrows9876]

You should excuse yourself. Doing that in public is just rude.

[@tedmorgan7002]

She’s my gf
