And what is she really like in person? Read on to discover the untold truth of Meryl Streep. Have you ever noticed that during award season, Meryl Streep always seems to be a contender? That's for good reason, as Streep has been nominated for an Oscar more than any other actor, living or deceased, according to Variety. In fact, in , she even broke her own record when she was nominated for the 21st time for best actress after portraying journalist Katherine Graham in The Post.
It's not just Academy Award nominations that Streep has in abundance. All told, as of November , Streep has nominations and wins, which is nothing short of incredible by any measure. As for Oscar wins , that's a record Streep can't claim as her own, as she has three trophies from the Academy for Kramer vs.
Only legendary actor Katharine Hepburn has won more, as she was awarded four Oscars in her lifetime. But who knows what the future may hold! When Meryl Streep was a child, it wasn't acting that first called to her. Rather, she took singing lessons in the hopes that one day she could be an opera singer.
She continued, "When I was a kid, [my mother] took me to every single show. When Streep got older, she continued to pursue music, but that eventually changed. You can hear Streep show off her pipes in the film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. And if you want to hear her imitate one of the most famously bad singers of all time, check her out in Florence Foster Jenkins — it's a trip! It's a well-known fact that Meryl Streep has been married to her husband, sculptor Don Gummer , since , according to The Oprah Magazine.
Ever since then, he's been by her side at all kinds of events, supporting his wife in her creative endeavors. Their marriage truly is RelationshipGoals. But before Streep was happily married to Gummer, she had another high-profile romance that ended in tragedy.
It didn't take long for the pair to fall in love , equally dazzled by one another. Sadly, Cazale was diagnosed with cancer the next year, and he passed away in , an experience that shaped Streep's young life. But yes, it did align things for me in my head and in my heart about what's important and what doesn't matter a damn. And while all of them are grown up now, Streep worked consistently throughout their upbringing. So how did she and Don Gummer manage to raise four healthy and successful children?
He is a little more relaxed when it comes to raising kids. I'm more of a tiger mom. The research! The accents! The willingness to don unflattering hairdos! She can do anything, which is always part of the argument. Since , Streep has been nominated for 21 performances. She has won three times: First in for her supporting role in Kramer vs. No one gives a more elegant side-eye than Streep. As working actors go, Streep has worked a lot. But would you want her to be anything but?
Streep, in a cropped hot-red wig and dressed in an assortment of mustard-and-purple cape ensembles and sequined dresses slit down to there , serves up all the juicy starlet ham you could desire. She sings, she dances, she swans. Take, for example, the spontaneous high kick—atop a ladder, no less—she executes to cap off a particularly vigorous musical number. Dee Dee is working hard to impress a younger love interest, a midwestern school principal played by Keegan-Michael Key.
It works. In roles like this one, Streep is unapologetic about everything. A s she collected her third Oscar in , Meryl Streep guessed what everyone was thinking. Oh, come on, why? Streep — perennially praised, comfortably ensconced in the cinematic establishment, and the recipient of the most Oscar nominations in history — was winning yet another Academy Award.
In truth, her acting only tends to get spoken about today when someone is expressing cynicism about it. In November, The New York Times declared its 25 greatest actors of the 21st century , stocking its list with both inarguable greats among them Denzel Washington and Isabelle Huppert and lovely curveballs Keanu Reeves at four!
It sparked mild outrage and, at least among certain critics, a kind of relief. Scott is correct. Rather, they are significant, meaningful, or even evidence that she was never that good to begin with. Streep has long been dogged by detractors — ever since the late Seventies, in fact, when gushing reviews of her film and theatre work saw her declared among the best or, in some cases, the very best of her generation. Is it possible that as an actress she makes herself into a blank and then focuses all her attention on one thing — the toss of her head, for example, [or] her accent?
Maybe by bringing an unwarranted intensity to one facet of a performance she in effect decorporealises herself.
