Meryl Streep
Perhaps the greatest actress, period, Meryl Streep turned heads in a production of Miss Julie at Vassar College, and the rest is history. Streep has been nominated for an Oscar an astonishing 21 times, and has won thrice, once for Best Supporting Actress in Kramer v. Kramer, and twice for Best Leading Actress in Sophie’s Choice and The Iron Lady.
She was hilarious recently as President Janie Orlean in Don’t Look Up (above, if you look up), but perhaps her most iconic recent role was as Runway Magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.
