Meryl Streep Reveals the Movie Role She Didn’t Get Right
12 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
It may have earned her a best actress Oscar nomination, but Meryl Streep wasn’t entirely pleased with one particular movie role.
“You won’t guess because I’ve just collected a lot of awards for that film,” she said Friday on the “The Graham Norton Show,” flipping her hair, jokingly. “It was venerated.”
She finally admitted the performance was in the 1981 movie adaptation “The French Lieutenant’s Woman.” Streep played an actress (opposite Jeremy Irons) in the movie-within-a-movie whose character was having an affair both on and off screen.
“I’m giving myself an out, but part of it was, the structure of it was sort of artificial because I was the actress playing ‘The French Lieutenant’s Woman,'” she said. “At the same time I was an American actress playing a British woman.”
Streep won a Golden Globe and BAFTA for her role in the film, directed by Karel Reisz. »

16 April 2016 4:00 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Gone since 1995, in fact, and in the not too distant future, the amount of time she'll have been gone is going to surpass the amount of time she spent on this planet. And yet her legacy endures and her influence on the Latin-crossover music scene—and far beyond, probably further than most people realize—is as strong as ever, despite the »
