Incredible actress, magnetic and intense muse, from Meryl Streep&#39;s filmography 5 roles that launched her into the Olympus of the world of cinema.

75 years old. <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/meryl-streep-cannes-film-festival-2024-award-palma-d-or-red-carpet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palme d'Or for Lifetime Achievement</a> at the Cannes Film Festival. But <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/cannes-film-festival-2024-dresses-looks-opening-ceremony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meryl Streep</a> is as if she were ageless , her aura makes every appearance on and off the screen epic. From the red carpet to the sporting event, she magnetizes everyone's gaze. Her facial expressions are irresistible: Miranda's eyebrow in The Devil Wears Prada , her sad eyes in Kramer vs. Kramer or the languid ones in Out of Africa with Robert Redford. And those lips bitten because of anguish in Spike Jonze's The Orchid Thief . Nominated twenty-one times for the Academy Award, she has won three. As best supporting actress for Kramer vs. Kramer in 1980, a statuette forgotten under the restaurant table, as best leading actress for Sophie's Choice in 1983 and for The Iron Lady in 2012 in the role of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Streep's evanescence is unique, because she is here and already elsewhere at the same time. Typical of the greats. She was the first to whom the American press described her as an actor and not an actress : beyond gender, in favour of talent alone.
If the last effort on set is in 2023, the third season of Only Murders in the Building 3, the murder mystery thriller written by Steve Martin and John Hoffman available on Disney+, there are rumors of his participation in the third act of MammaMia!3 to agitate fans of the musical driven by the Scandinavian sound of Abba.
To celebrate and celebrate her in the best way, but also as an ideal movie list to spend the next summer evenings, let's review together the first 5 films of her career where it is clear how young Meryl Streep already had the destiny of the role of the great star sealed.

Young Meryl Streep from Julia in 1977 to Kramer vs. Kramer in 1979

Fred Zinneman&#39;s 1977 debut Julia

Premiere of Meryl Streep in "Julia"(1977)

Inspired by an autobiographical story contained in Lillian Hellman&#39;s memoir Pentimento , Fred Zinnemann outlines a great historical drama which is above all one of the most beautiful stories of female friendship in the history of cinema. Alongside Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave, a very young Meryl Streep in her debut on the big screen. In the film she plays Anne Marie, a socialite living in New York. Perfect.

The complexity of feelings in Michael Cimino&#39;s 1978 The Deer Hunter

THE DEER HUNTER - Official Trailer - Starring Robert De Niro

In this film Meryl Streep plays Linda, Nick&#39;s girlfriend (the Oscar winner Christopher Walken ) and at the same time the apple of Mike&#39;s (Robert De Niro) eye . With Nick away in Vietnam, Mike returns home to their small working-class Pennsylvania town where he becomes closer to Linda, both distraught over the man&#39;s disappearance.

Emotional detachment in Woody Allen&#39;s 1979 Manhattan

Manhattan - Official Trailer - Woody Allen Movie

Meryl Streep&#39;s weight in Manhattan is proverbial. In this black and white story, she plays Jill, ex-wife of the neurotic and frustrated Isacc (Allen) who has since become a lesbian and is struggling with writing the confidential book about their marriage. It goes without saying how brilliant her detached and cold attitude is in reducing his hysteria.

The pain of separation in Kramer vs. Kramer by Robert Benton 1979

Ted Kramer, Dustin Hoffman, is a career man for whom his work comes before family. His wife Joanna, played by Meryl Streep, can no longer stand it. Depressed and scared for her future and her mental health, she decides to leave him. At the center is the couple&#39;s son Billy who will see them fight ferociously and with great suffering in court for his custody.

Finally, a space dedicated to the virality of Meryl Streep&#39;s character: memes with her emphatic expressions are plentiful, as are the visionary reworkings scattered across the web. Among all we choose A Taste of Streep , an Instagram account that has grown over time and become famous and equally viral thanks to a series of digital collages in which the actress&#39;s looks and poses blend with delicious delicacies to eat. Crazy and ironic as only someone like Streep can appreciate.
