Another favorite movie actress ,Meryl Streep is 69 today.
I haven't liked all of the movies she's been in,these are a few favorites:
"Sophie's Choice' ''82
"Out of Africa' '85
"A Cry in The Dark' 88
"Postcards From The Edge' '90,this was the first movie when I learned she could actually sing
"Music of the Heart '99
"Mamma Mia' '08
"The Giver' '14
"Florence Foster Jenkins' ''16, amusing to watch her sing off key
She has been nominated 21 times for Academy awards,has won 3:
best sup actress for "Kramer vs.Kramer '80
Best Actress for "Sophie's Choice' '82,"The Iron Lady' 11

I haven't seen all her movies, but I liked her performance in:
Kramer vs Kramer
Sophie's Choice
The Devil Wears Prada
Doubt

Happy Birthday, Meryl! :)
 
In my book, one of the most over-rated actresses in the biz. Grab a Variety, the bible of show biz rags, around awards time. You will easily discover why she gets so many nominations: Page upon page upon multi-thousand dollar page of ads pushing for her nomination and, in subsequent issues, her win. Taylor Swift has a similar smoothly oiled and running publicity machine, in the music biz. Grab a Billboard around Grammy time. Seriously, do check out those magazines. They are real eye-openers into the star-making game. Streep does comically bad accents, and over-acts, to a hilarious extent, in many of her "great" roles.
