Meryl Streep

Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep is an American actress widely regarded as one of the greatest of her generation, celebrated for her remarkable versatility, profound emotional depth, and peerless command of accents. Born in Summit, New Jersey, in 1949, she trained at Vassar College and the Yale School of Drama before making her Broadway debut in 1975 and her feature film debut in Julia (1977). Her breakthrough came with the powerful dramas The Deer Hunter (1978) and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), winning her first Academy Award for the latter. Throughout her five-decade career, Streep has become the most-nominated actor in Academy Award history, with 21 nominations and three wins—for Best Supporting Actress in Kramer vs. Kramer, and Best Actress for her indelible performance as a Holocaust survivor in Sophie's Choice (1982) and as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady (2011). Her filmography spans an extraordinary range, from critically acclaimed dramas like Out of Africa (1985) and The Bridges of Madison County (1995) to commercial hits and cultural touchstones like The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and the musical Mamma Mia! (2008), recently including her praised work in the television series Only Murders in the Building.
