Meryl Streep has fought not to be typecast through taking on a variety of roles in meryl streep movies but there is something about the presence of meryl streep that typecasts itself. When you are watching on of the meryl streep movies you are very aware that you are watching Meryl Streep and that you are watching a great actor. Of course, meryl streep bringing the typecasting of “great” to meryl streep movies really is not a bad thing but sometimes Meryl Streep can overshadow the rest of the film. This year, the hit Meryl Streep movie was the devil wears prada. In the devil wears prada, meryl streep excels as the cold, dignified, and very intelligent Miranda Priestly. Apparently the devil wears prada was based on an assistant’s experience working for Anna Wintour at Vogue and meryl streep pulls off the uncompromising, very busy and successful New York working woman perfectly. The meryl streep role in the devil wears prada allowed Meryl Streep to wear some fantastic outfits. Even the meryl streep hair in the devil wears prada was severe and perfect. Meryl Streep seemed to really enjoy her role in the devil wears prada. Even as we are watching meryl streep act coldly with tiny gestures that carry a lot of weight, we can tell Meryl Streep must have had a lot of fun playing such a powerful and intimidating woman. Meryl Streep was nominated for her fourteenth

for lead actress in the devil wears prada and won the Golden Globe for the role. Fans of meryl streep movies are generally women, as Meryl Streep tends to make a lot of romance films or films that deal with family drama. Especially in her films of the 1970s and 1980s, meryl streep speaks more to women than men. This may also be because Meryl Streep is beautiful but in a more unconventional way. The beauty of meryl streep comes more from her confidence and poise than perfect physical features. Despite her long career, which boasts so many meryl streep movies, I think my favourite is still Death Becomes Her. Meryl Streep actually really suits comedy and I’m glad there are more comedic meryl streep movies in the future with Mamma Mia!
