I don’t think Meryl looks average. I have always thought she had a beautiful face, her cheek bones, nose, jaw and overall face shape is gorgeous. It’s simple but so strong
Yes she's very beautiful, not a perfect baby face or a sexpot, but in a classy and cool way. But in her very young years she was also very much classically beautiful. She was in fact a cheerleader and looked like one. There are plenty of pretty women like her in hollywood, her looks were never her main asset, despite being beautiful.
She definitely has a unique face for the industry. I think she's really beautiful. I know others probably would've changed her nose and other things, but I LOVE that she rocks it and doesn't take shit from nobody
I think Meryl is pretty as well. If you notice though there are particular looks that work in Hollywood and some that don’t. I get a face has t show up on screen like square jaw and cheek bones are helpful but some times I think they have only particular looking people
she has really strong bone structure that has definitely helped her as she's aged. I never really thought she was pretty when I was younger and only knew her for her work from 2000s or so on but photos of her from before then show how attractive she was and honestly still is.
What sets Meryl Streep apart and elevates her over these other actresses is she's able to master every genre. She's not a one trick pony. From comedy, horror, drama, musicals. Not many actresses have that range so let them hate. That type of talent doesn't come along often. Meryl is definitely a force of nature. Simply amazingly talented. She deserves every accolade she's given.
Haters are going to hate, unfortunately they should be focusing on bettering themselves, but that would take time, effort and self work, so it’s easier for them to hate, the universe reflect back to you what you are sending out.
Meryl is very much herself and deserves the praise, the other actress on the same level (IMHO) is the fearless, awe-inspiring Jessica Lange. Meryl was taken seriously as an actress from the start, but Jessica knocked the haters out when she revealed the subtlety and depth of what she was capable of. Fun fact: Meryl actually was sent to audition for the role Jessica played in King Kong, and afterward, Dino DiLaurentiis told his son in Italian "She's not beautiful enough", to which Meryl looked him in the eye and said in his language, "I don't like that!" She explained in an interview, "I had had Italian 101 at Vassar, you know?" Love it.
I always loved her role as Mary Fisher in She-Devil. I thought she played the character well with her being over dramatic, fashionable, and high society preppy. Meryl has always given me Golden Era of Hollywood style with some of the roles she’s played and her sense of fashion.
Meryl is definitely THAT actress. She's versatile and really embodies alllll her characters. I don't know any of her characters that you weren't connected to and I typically watch most of her movies. The moment I see a movie with Meryl, I know it's going to be good good if only because of her display of her character. Lemony Snickett's: A Series of Unfortunate Event is one of my favourites because it really was another level of her range imho
First time I’m hearing some people hate Meryl. I loveeeeee Meryl! What’s there to hate? She literally minds her business and puts out good work. Thank you God that I’m so far from the hate to even hear about it. I suggest you all keep y’all’s minds on loving topics so as not to be corrupted with the hate of this world. 🧡❤️
I can't even believe there's a video discussing her being overrated! I think after her performance in Sophie's Choice it was pretty clear to all that she's simply a fine actress with the ability to play a great range of characters! My goodness- who could "hate" her?
Same here. Meryl Streep has for a long time been among my favorite actors. I just like how she just comes out simply just being herself. Some call them the realest, but you can really see the true nature of that person. So I don't see any favoritism shown her, or need for jealousy, they just need to bump up their own performance. Because she has earned her place where she's at, and has the ulcers to prove it. Maybe they need to grow and ulcer, before they start judging. It very well could be that Meryl may not have given a stellar performance in some movie, but one thing for sure the person who comes out, as the realist, always take home the crown, the fake ones just don't. Unwritten rule.

Please. Meryl Streep is all that and worth every penny. The up and down on "The Devil Wears Prada" is everything! And she is beautiful, talented and smart.
Kathy Bates is equally one of the best actresses. She should have won another Oscar for Dolores Claiborne. Meryl Streep is really in good with the clique of Hollywood. Meryl Streep is a good actress but others are just as great. I have to admit she nails all accents. My favorite film is Silkwood!
I don’t think it’s as much about jealousy as it is about understandable frustration with how the industry is run. It is already a severely limiting machine for women as they age, with so very few women being considered for good roles, and one woman at the very top of that list. It’s understandable why this would be a topic brought up by folks in the business. Also I don’t think jealousy is at the root of such criticisms along the lines of her relationship with Harvey Weinstein. I actually can’t stand the way Rose McGowan has gone on this rampage that began with MeToo and seems to be more about her own trauma and her own narcissism than anything else, but she wasn’t out of line pointing out what she did about Streep and Weinstein.
@1027 EastSide So you think Rose McGowan rightfully complaining about how she was rap*d and how many people in Hollywood gaslit her or straight up lied to protect their own asses, is wrong? If you were rap*d and then blacklisted, I doubt you would behave normally or not complain or go insane about it. You are clearly very victim blaming and male identified piece of trash. Get the help out of this channel, you garbage!
My Dad had a HUGE crush on her. My Mom didn't mind bc she knew it was merely admiration. And I can also see how she's amusing not just to men but women too. Not to mention, I really like how she portrayed Miranda Priestly. She's very versatile.

And if I remember correctly, when they try to "replace" John Cazale (because of cancer) in Deer Hunter, she refused to act in the movie, if they would do it..
I love her! She's earned her status. She may not be the typical "Hollywood pretty" but that's even better making her unique. Her talent is unmatched as well 💛
Yes. She's one of the actresses who, despite not being considered a sex symbol, was skyrocketed into success purely by her talent and I find that more admirable and inspirational.
Meryl is an example of how you can be a great actor with limited range. Jack Nicholson is another example. I dont think she's overrated. People really soured on her because they realized she played the Hollywood game just like everyone else did. But idk why people get mad at the actors and not the people who set up the system.
She does a far greater variety of roles than Jack Nicholson. I Think she is pretty amazing. But I think the younger generation doesn't think she is that awesome.
Exactly i don't blame the actors it's like victim blaming they probably were forced to bend to the system. As long as they're doing their job well IDC.
She is naturally beautiful in my opinion but it also seems that she makes good decisions about her image. Her features also make her marketable, Hollywood's profits is all about marketing. Her family did great by teaching her confidence early. People underestimate how important that is to developing who you are. She gives off the confident vibe and to many people they either take it as you're arrogant or " she doesn't have anything i don't have". She is just doing what everyone wishes they could, which is making who you are work for you and being ok with that. There are other options people can choose beside resentment and envy to deal with those that are or appear confident in themselves.

I agree. This, to me, is the role that solidifies her place as the greatest actress of our lifetime settled as canon. First, because she learned German and then chose to learn how to speak it with a Polish accent for the role. But mostly because of "The Scene". Those three horrific minutes that give the film its title and that won her the Academy Award. How she struggles to find her voice and assert herself safely to the SS officer, the way you can read her thoughts on her face, and how you can actually see her brain break just by the subtle change in her eyes and her quivering lips when she realizes what is being asked of her. That whole scene was shot in one take. The little girl's terror, screams, and tears are real. Meryl's tears are real. Her silent scream was unscripted. All of it was real and captured in one take. And once you've seen it, you never ever unsee it.
I remember seeing Meryl Streep in “Sophie’s choice.” the movie came to a close, the lights slowly came up as the credits completed. I sat transfixed, and suddenly broke down weeping. And all I could say was, “that was so sad, that was so sad.” It was the most devastating performance I’d ever seen or have ever seen.
I think Meryl Streep is a very talented and beautiful lady. She takes her career very seriously and works hard. I feel she deserves the praise. A lovely video! I enjoy how you express information in a fair manner and empathy 🙂.

The reason she is so good. She is flawless and you stop watching Meryl Streep who fades away and you start watching the person she is portraying . Only a handful of actors can truly do that. 💜💜
There's nothing average about Meryl Streep. Her beauty is timeless. She's has an air about her ...like a very expensive and exclusive perfume that you wanna run out and buy and spray all over you. I'd name it "JE NE SAIS QUOI" that unexplainable something.
Meryl is a treasure I’m shocked to learn her peers and others hates her. If there’s one actress that always understands the assignment. I love her! I’m a black woman and I always tell my mom who is also black that she favors Meryl it’s uncanny. So naturally I love her even more because of that
My faves are her romance roles, Out of Africa, The French Lieutanants Woman, Falling in Love, Bridges of Madison County, all heartfelt palpable love stories. She brought each woman to life in a way that left no doubt as to her feelings for her male counterpart and was vulnerable & strong all at once. A treat to watch ALWAYS.
I loved her in Bridges of Madison County! Her mannerisms in that movie was remarkable! It was like actually watching in on both her and Clint Eastwood’s characters!!
Thanks for mentioning Bridges of Madison County and The French Lieutenants Woman. I also loved her in It's Complicated - one of the funniest romantic comedies of the last twenty years. Meryl can do it all.
The way she played Julia Child in Julie and Julia just blew my mind. It was like watching Julia herself but in colour. I haven't seen this movie mentioned in the comments but I highly recommend it, I loved every second of it. Especially for Julia Child fans, they will love this movie. I have seen most of her movies, she is excellent at what she does but this movie is the topper for me.

Meryl works hard and polishes her craft. I have noticed when you are pretty, confident and focused on doing your best in anything in life, people, especially woman to woman, have a problem with it. Jealousy is an ugly thing! We should be encouraging each other not tearing one another down. Just the other day, an old work friend said I shouldn't think I am any better then her just because I'm wearing heals, dresses, losing weight and wearing make-up now. I have not spoken to this woman in over 10 years! Yes, when I was at uni, I wore plain clothes,only had a few for best dresses and only wore make-up when we went out as I couldn't afford to replace it after using it so often. I was the fat plain jane in the workplace whilst at uni. I see her comment as confirmation that I am on the right path. We as women should be happier for each other instead of competitive, especially when we see a fellow sister lose weight, look and feel better. I like Meryl Steep. My favourite film with her is The Devil's Wear Prada.
Meryl is a chameleon. She had the ability to become the character. Those accents and her persona are believable! That’s acting! She deserves her accolades!
Some people just are that golden child, everything falls into place for them, along with talent, and hard work, she deserves all the credit she gets!💯🌟
Hi karine! Can you please do a breakdown on the Egyptian actress Souad Hossni, she was nicknamed the Cinderella of the screen, and her life is very heart breaking.
I always felt she had a unique and beautiful face, different from the usual botoxed nightmares. When I look at her I think "classy". She's one of a few actresses who I consider a master of her craft. Most actors just repeat a few facial expressions and the movie does the work for them. For example, much as I enjoyed the Indiana Jones series, I thought Harrison Ford acted with one expression: varying degrees of constipation.
I wouldn't say Meryl Streep is overrated, but she isn't the ONLY outstanding actress. Kramer vs Kramer, Doubt, The Devil Wears Prada, Silkwood and The Bridges of Madison County are just a few of my favorites! ❤️
But she IS the best actress in the entire world, PeriodT! She is humble to me. I’ve watched all of her movies and love them all. And yes, Bridges of Madison County is just one of my favorites! 🤣❤️
Agreed, there is SO much talent out there from then and now. "The greatest" is in the eye of the beholder 🤷🏽 Also, Kramer vs Kramer was definitely something to watch, quite emotional! Supposedly one of the first movies (if not the first) to talk about, introduce and/or influence the spike in divorces in the U.S.
@@TheRetroWoman80 Exactly! There are too many NATURAL actresses who are gifted aside from Mrs. Streep. Angela Bassett, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Wood, Lynn Whitfield, Cicely Tyson, Diahann Carroll, and Debbi Morgan are just a FEW of my favorites. I even give props to the MULTI TALENTED phenoms Janet Jackson, Diana Ross and Queen Latifah for their penetrating acting performances! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw the title and made a :o because I've never heard anyone say Meryl is hated in any aspect lol! She's really been my childhood since Devil Wears Prada and I love her iconic roles ever since! Thanks for the video! 🥰
I have to agree that "Death Becomes Her" is my favorite movie of hers. It has amazing special effects that were groundbreaking back when it came out and don't look silly today at all. I love that you love this movie, it just helps support my opinion of how great you are!
I’ve always thought if she were European, ppl would talk abt her beauty. I remember in high school watching The Deer Hunter. When she came on screen the man next to me was quiet, then finally said to his friend, “she’s pretty”. He had to take time and think abt it. So, that was my introduction to her and initially she wasn’t considered attractive by the general public
They sound Jealous and envious of her. It’s literally not her fault she makes all the right moves and is a phenomenal actress. God has blessed her like he blessed Michael Jordan.
It's about the Detail in her facial Expressions and her body movements; Always accurated and Natural at the Same time ... Just flawless And she can read easily her role, performing Always in a diffèrent Way She also seems to captured the vision of the director
I think she is a great actress ! According to me one of her best movies she has made is The Devil wears Prada it was a outstanding and iconic perfomance 😊👍
@@dynastyb. That's so awesome! How does the sweater monologue shake out in the audition process, I'm curious? Those are high heels to fill but, coming from a theater background, I would be delighted to see other actors give it a go.
@@carag2567 Well, luckily, I had the chance to tape the audition so every time it didn't feel right, I would just cut it but that third final try felt amazing and I was very proud of myself to do that.
@@dynastyb. I'm proud of you too! It can't be an easy piece to perform given the precedent that Meryl set but even when I first saw the film in the theater in 2006, that scene stood out to me as instantly iconic and such fun material to play with. Good for you having the self-assurance to tackle it. Break a leg in the future, darling! I wish you all the best!
The actor Charles Dance wasn’t crazy about her. In an interview years ago he said that all she talk about was her “craft” which left him cringing and he said she talk about acting like she was curing cancer.
It’s very hard for an actor to get lost into their roles but Meryl has mastered that so well which is what makes her an incredible one. I mean she’s considered a legend
Meryl Streep is an amazing actress. She’s actually my fav. Anything she’s in I’ll give it a chance bc of her body of work. If anyone is jealous, I understand why
There's a lot of backstory on Polanski. Far too much to go into here. And regarding Weinstein, everyone knew about him. Oprah was a pal of his! Streep avoided him and he definitely avoided her. Some women even Weinstein was afraid of.
Meryl Streep is my favorite actress of all time! No one and I mean no one does it better! I first became a fan when she acted in Kramer vs Kramer and Sophie’s Choice. If you’ve ever seen those movies, then you will know. Don’t talk about my Meryl! Much respect to her! ❤️
I saw a behind the scenes about her a scene in KvsK with Dustin Hoffman. They were acting out the fight and Dustin said she was not connecting like he wanted and literally SLAPPED her. The director and everyone froze because it was so loud and left a red mark on her face. She acted beautifully even after that mess and everyone realized she was a hell of an actress to keep going after dealing with an jerk. That is why directors and producers love her.
DEATH BECOMES HER IS ONE OF THEE BEST MOVIES MADE!!! I just said yesterday that Meryl Streep is my favorite Actress...They big mad because she is EXCELLENT AT HER CRAFT...Many Actress always play themselves, role after role...Ms. Streep is no one trick pony and the girls can't take it!!!🤣🤣🤣✌️
She is not ordinary in any way, there is something earthy and mysterious about her at the same time and she can make you feel emotions like; love, sexual chemistry, fear!!! She is not overated, she is one of the best !!!
I'm not sure how I feel about her as a person, but she's a stellar actress, and uniquely beautiful. She's always been a class act, and has never used her sexuality in a raunchy way. I don't understand why anyone would blame her for being chosen, being favored. It's her fault director's prefer her, it's not her fault they don't prefer Sarandon...
One thing to watch her from a distance another to work with her. But then again co workers be mad if you don't want to kick it with them. After all, you come to work to work.
It’s interesting that Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver, where classmates at Yale Drama School, at Yale Streep was the golden child, adored by her teachers/mentors, hailed by her peers. She stepped out of the hallowed halls of the Ivy League and right onto the stage at Lincoln Center, earning immediate praise from the New York theatre community and propelling her into an awarded acting career. Meanwhile, Sigourney Weaver toiled in the shadows. Unable to win lead roles in school productions (the Yale teachers called her "talentless") which had a huge affect on her confidence. After Yale, Weaver auditioned and auditioned in her native Manhattan, like most young performers taking whatever jobs she could get. It wasn't until Ridley Scott cast her in his inauspicious sci-fi horror film Alien that her career took off. Both women are individually talented and unique. Meryl always seemed to know that. While Sigourney had to grow in confidence to learn that fact.
She’s not overrated she earned her place and worked hard to get to where she is now. People get jealous from the person who works and studies harder than they do because they could get insecure about that. But she definitely earned it.
My favorite Hollywood story is the fact that Meryl Streep walked around being called 'the goat' and she humbly accepted it and went along with it because she thought they were referring to her as an old goat because she's old. Jennifer Lawrence had to explain that it meant Greatest Of All Time. Even if I didn't like her, I can never hate someone who's that quirky 😂.

She also gave Roman Polanski a passionate and long standing ovation and continues to praise him AFTER learning that he r@ped little girls!! She’s and interesting one is put up there with oprah
Her beauty is the type of beauty that can tell stories, it helps her blend into so many roles and i love that about her ❤ but her talent is out of this world you can't take that from her, she brings box office money and that's what the business is all about money, so of course they are going to give her first dibs first
Sophie's Choice. Wow. She can transform herself into any character she takes on. This makes her talent an absolute gift for those who witness this transformation.
Hi Karine, lovely breakdown as always! I’m not sure why I am feeling the need to express my opinions on Meryl Streep, because I consider no celebrity or human being “perfect” (we’re all flawed and have certain advantages and disadvantages in life), but there’s always so much talk about her career and whether she’s overrated or given everything on a silver platter due to her perfect upbringing; which is appealing to the industry and the audiences they deliver to. But here I am, speaking on a textbook privileged white woman with an “ideal” life story, career, and personal life - how basic (just kidding)! Before I start, let it be known that I believe that Meryl is crazy talented and a celebrity that I don’t have major concerns about when it comes to ethics - team strong and hardworking women here! I love that you included how she doesn’t have a favorite director, color, or food. She enjoys everything and I think that as a society we are so used to being able to box and categorize people in our minds. So the fact that everyone isn’t able to easily predict her patterns can cause confusion and bring forward the hate. The only thing we can confirm about her is that if she’s starring in something, she’ll likely be nominated for a big award. Public perception - and frankly male perceptions within the industry: I feel like she gets hate for not sticking to just serious/Oscar-worthy roles, or people think she’s stuck up for not doing more mainstream/cater to the masses types of projects - she does a good mix (The Devil Wears Prada & Mamma Mia, for example). It all comes back to the fact that she enjoys a little bit of everything and sees value in all types of opportunities professionally. She’s well-rounded and no one can take that away from her. As for her work ethic - no one should criticize a hard worker. We don’t know how much value the said person’s efforts and time bring to their inner peace and help to drive them. You mentioned the toll her workload and stress about about making it took on her, which just presents another reason as to why she is such a perfectionist and in love with her job. I think that she genuinely loves her craft and finds fulfillment in doing her absolute best - even her “worst” performances are noteworthy. As for her background…haters gonna hate. Sure, a backstory that involves some level of trauma and hardships is interesting to learn about, but I think that it is wonderful that her parents were supportive. They raised a hardworking child who used her advantages to the fullest potential, rather than taking it easy. Not every performer or creator needs to be a “tortured artist” or a “broken soul” - how would the industry function with that much collective trauma? A stable upbringing and life path is uncommon in the industry - refreshing really. Any group and background should be present in any and all industries. She obviously hasn’t needed sad or bad memories to tap into her inner actress, as you mentioned that acting always came naturally to her - but I respect the efforts she put into perfecting the hell out of her passion (which she’s still doing in my opinion). Regarding Sharon Stone’s comment about her appearance, I also agree that it isn’t necessarily an insult. I do feel that Meryl gives off a relatable energy - both mentally and physically. It aids in how her performances impact an audience. They may see themselves represented and that is a beautiful thing - another added layer to her art. Also, I think that she is beautiful and love the approach she has taken to aging gracefully. She just looks like a happy, content, and confident version of her younger self. I will assume that other actresses get jealous and hurt by many roles being offered to her first, but Meryl must be respectful and kind to her peers, which adds to why they go to her earlier than others. All these legends/veterans of the industry are talented, but talent alone doesn’t guarantee the first offer for a role - at least that’s what I think. The package as a whole comes off as ideal for any producer/director. All these amazing actresses deserve all the accolades and equal pay to their male counterparts - I respect that Meryl stood up to getting paid the right amount for her role as Miranda Priestly, as you mentioned in the video. She has paved the way for other actresses. Meryl is the first actress that I saw as the real deal growing up, but I get the same energy from Viola Davis, for example. She is also someone who is mega talented, she voices her love for her craft, and stands up for what’s right - such as being treated as equals to men and other women in the industry and being confident in knowing your worth. Both powerhouses, both coming from completely different backgrounds, and both are two of the strongest performers I have ever witnessed. I hope the two actresses are able to work together again, because that would be a treat! Lastly, I appreciate that she isn’t extra. She’s not trying to break the Internet. She isn’t doing the most on the red carpet. When she’s at an awards show, she is genuinely happy to be present and actually paying attention, with her glasses on. Sure, she’s one of the most successful actors in the industry, but it is refreshing to not always be bombarded by drama, cancel culture, scandals, etc. from her end. She has made smart decisions both professionally and personally - yes, her and her husband are definitely couple goals! She is a true Thespian, a hardworking woman, a loving wife and mother, and the ideal actor to look up to for any aspiring artist, due to how she balances everything and still enjoys her chosen career. Meryl Streep is the GOAT and the Michael Jordan of actresses in Hollywood. P.S. Meryl’s career > Dustin’s ! ! ! I hate men sometimes…most of the time…
RE: her being kind and respectful to her peers. I think it speaks volumes about her character that the last time she used Method acting was for The Devil Wears Prada because she loathed having to be in Miranda's head space at all times and behaving like her. She permanently gave up Method to be a nicer person forever. That has to translate.
@@carag2567 Miranda was a tough character to portray - to play someone so cruel-hearted who was looking out for themselves and lacked empathy. I had no idea that was Meryl’s last attempt at method acting, but it makes total sense. She’s done relatively more relatable portrayals since, unless she was doing a period piece.
She's anything but average, she's tall, has a gorgeous figure, excuisite, exotic face, and is extremely charming. Her work ethic is flawless. My favourite roles of hers are in The Bridges of Madison County and Adaptation. Death Becomes Her is an amazing film! I think people are envious of her and her 'perfect' life, and it's to be expected because the woman really does seem to have it all. The only thing that is bothersome/questionable from my point of view is her relationship with HW and whether or not she knew of his extracurricular activities.
I love Meryl and I think she is beautiful in comparison to other people she just has a different look Most women go after the same look , she another kind of beauty :)
Meryl's beauty is STUNNING...there is nothing average about her looks or her acting. I didn't not know that anyone felt that way about her. I find her beauty to be memorable and one of a kind!!! I've only heard praise, honestly:)
Hi @Karine Alourde First off I'm a huge fan from the UK. I watch you're breakdown vids religiously literally! and I love how in-depth you go when breaking down these iconic stars. I do have two request one of them is if you could do a breakdown of the actress and activist rose mcgowan. My personal opinion I think she is such an icon I grew up watching her on charmed with my big sis 🥰, scream and jawbreaker and I feel she deserves a breakdown. And the other is uma thurman! again an icon and I grew up watching her my first time seeing uma was her role as poison ivy in the movie batam and Robin and I loved her ever since.
I think its sad that other actors criticised her for having a good upbringing/supportive parents etc. Yes it set up the foundations for her success but she didn't choose who she was born to. I had an ugly upbringing but love to hear about other people who had stable upbringings, had good educations etc just as much as I love to hear rags to riches stories and the like. It's cruel to criticise or take away from other people's success stories just because you had it harder or tougher. Once you remove envy and comparison from your life, life becomes way more enjoyable
Hi Karine, you id a fantastic job on this vid of Meryl and I empathize with you regarding Meryl. Not many actresses of any decade are as versatile in their craft or as classy! Certainly not the likes of Sharon Stone or Susan Sarandon, who are both fabulous, but...Meryl just exudes class and I don't think she is tabloid fodder bc she is a woman beyond all that b.s. Oh, and her beauty is just european classic, like a rennaisance painting; also so natural. Some of my fave movies are Deer Hunter, Bridges of Madison County, Silkwood, Devil Wears Prada. Btw, you looked lovely in your birthday pic and hope your celebration matched that; your spirit of class, and sweetness comes thru in a photo always. Thx for all your hard work and look forward to all of your posts; the sultry lower tone of your voice is so relaxing too. Peace and love
Love Meryl Streep! Shows how hard work and dedication pays off! I also think she is beautiful and has a unique beauty that’s not cookie cutter neither exotic.

Because she's focused and respects her work, she gets criticism. At the end of the day, she's mega-talented, smart, has looks, and knows how to play the game. People can learn from her humility and focus and the road she paved for women and others.
She is has just been amazing at every movie she has played in , so to me I have loved every movie she has came out in , she is such a great actress and is just as great in comical movies too ! Yup ! So she is all that !!
My favorite role Meryl played was in The Devil Wears Prada as Miranda Priestley. She nailed that role and played a cold hearted and ruthless boss like a pro!

I agree
Susan SA-RAN-DUN...
I don’t think Meryl looks average. I have always thought she had a beautiful face, her cheek bones, nose, jaw and overall face shape is gorgeous. It’s simple but so strong
Yes she's very beautiful, not a perfect baby face or a sexpot, but in a classy and cool way. But in her very young years she was also very much classically beautiful. She was in fact a cheerleader and looked like one. There are plenty of pretty women like her in hollywood, her looks were never her main asset, despite being beautiful.
She definitely has a unique face for the industry. I think she's really beautiful. I know others probably would've changed her nose and other things, but I LOVE that she rocks it and doesn't take shit from nobody
I think Meryl is pretty as well. If you notice though there are particular looks that work in Hollywood and some that don’t. I get a face has t show up on screen like square jaw and cheek bones are helpful but some times I think they have only particular looking people
Her skin is flawless!
she has really strong bone structure that has definitely helped her as she's aged. I never really thought she was pretty when I was younger and only knew her for her work from 2000s or so on but photos of her from before then show how attractive she was and honestly still is.
What sets Meryl Streep apart and elevates her over these other actresses is she's able to master every genre. She's not a one trick pony. From comedy, horror, drama, musicals. Not many actresses have that range so let them hate. That type of talent doesn't come along often. Meryl is definitely a force of nature. Simply amazingly talented. She deserves every accolade she's given.
This is the one ☝🏾
Haters are going to hate, unfortunately they should be focusing on bettering themselves, but that would take time, effort and self work, so it’s easier for them to hate, the universe reflect back to you what you are sending out.
I like her physicality but she’s not a beauty by any means.
I agree and do not understand why some people need to try to undermine hard work and talent
A lot of "black" actresses wouldn't be one trick ponies if they were presented with the same opportunities!
Meryl is very much herself and deserves the praise, the other actress on the same level (IMHO) is the fearless, awe-inspiring Jessica Lange. Meryl was taken seriously as an actress from the start, but Jessica knocked the haters out when she revealed the subtlety and depth of what she was capable of. Fun fact: Meryl actually was sent to audition for the role Jessica played in King Kong, and afterward, Dino DiLaurentiis told his son in Italian "She's not beautiful enough", to which Meryl looked him in the eye and said in his language, "I don't like that!" She explained in an interview, "I had had Italian 101 at Vassar, you know?" Love it.
She said she was sorry she wasn’t beautiful enough
I agree - Jessica is sublime. Both women are incredibly gifted actresses.
Jessica Lange is incredible, so is Kathy Bates. Love their work
Mereyl doesn't deserve praise she deserves the career she always deserved and aimed for
LOVE Jessica Lang
I always loved her role as Mary Fisher in She-Devil. I thought she played the character well with her being over dramatic, fashionable, and high society preppy. Meryl has always given me Golden Era of Hollywood style with some of the roles she’s played and her sense of fashion.
Yesss😂❤
Loved to hate her horrible hard-working (insecure) character in The Devil Wears Prada👸🏻👠💅
That's my favorite Meryl character. When she finally went off on those kids and her momma I literally hollered 🤣
My top 5 favorite movies. She played "my boss" perfectly! This movie gave me the courage to move on!
She Devil was amazing
Meryl is definitely THAT actress. She's versatile and really embodies alllll her characters. I don't know any of her characters that you weren't connected to and I typically watch most of her movies. The moment I see a movie with Meryl, I know it's going to be good good if only because of her display of her character. Lemony Snickett's: A Series of Unfortunate Event is one of my favourites because it really was another level of her range imho
Absolutely! I was just thinking that she is one of the few actors that I don’t see “actor playing character.” She becomes the character.
That movie with Goldie Hawn was such a fun movie lol. I watched it twice.
Edit: 'Death becomes her' is such a clever title too!!👏🏼I really enjoyed it.
Haha I used to watch that over and over as a kid!!
Lol since i was a kid, I quote lines of that movie to my mom at random moments just to make her snort/laugh 🤭 still works after all these years.
I love Goldie
Would’ve been better with the deleted scenes.
First time I’m hearing some people hate Meryl. I loveeeeee Meryl! What’s there to hate? She literally minds her business and puts out good work. Thank you God that I’m so far from the hate to even hear about it. I suggest you all keep y’all’s minds on loving topics so as not to be corrupted with the hate of this world. 🧡❤️
I can't even believe there's a video discussing her being overrated! I think after her performance in Sophie's Choice it was pretty clear to all that she's simply a fine actress with the ability to play a great range of characters! My goodness- who could "hate" her?
Never heard any Meryl hate! She’s phenomenal
Well said!👍✌️
Same here. Meryl Streep has for a long time been among my favorite actors. I just like how she just comes out simply just being herself. Some call them the realest, but you can really see the true nature of that person. So I don't see any favoritism shown her, or need for jealousy, they just need to bump up their own performance. Because she has earned her place where she's at, and has the ulcers to prove it. Maybe they need to grow and ulcer, before they start judging. It very well could be that Meryl may not have given a stellar performance in some movie, but one thing for sure the person who comes out, as the realist, always take home the crown, the fake ones just don't. Unwritten rule.
Haha😂 same, my dad Ioves her work and so I do I. Ppl hate Meryl?? News to me
Meryl Streep is one of my favourite actresses. She’s not overrated at all, She deserved everything she earned during her career.

She's overrated.
@@harrodsfan why you said so?
Please. Meryl Streep is all that and worth every penny. The up and down on "The Devil Wears Prada" is everything! And she is beautiful, talented and smart.
Kathy Bates is equally one of the best actresses. She should have won another Oscar for Dolores Claiborne. Meryl Streep is really in good with the clique of Hollywood. Meryl Streep is a good actress but others are just as great. I have to admit she nails all accents. My favorite film is Silkwood!
Yeah I do love Kathy Bates. Outstanding actress in my opinion too.
I looooooooooooooooopve Kathy Bates!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not only is Kathy Bates a top tier actress but she is COOL AF!
@@carag2567 Kathy Bates went through cancer awhile back. She survived it. Thank God! A special lady. ❤️👍👏
Kathy was wonderful in that movie.
Meryl is so good at dramatic comedy like no other. She is definitely an icon.
She's a class act. I believe its jealousy.
I second that.... jealousy indeed!!!!
Agreed. She’s great. She did her job and well.
Or just a difference of opinion. That's a possibility as well
I don’t think it’s as much about jealousy as it is about understandable frustration with how the industry is run. It is already a severely limiting machine for women as they age, with so very few women being considered for good roles, and one woman at the very top of that list. It’s understandable why this would be a topic brought up by folks in the business. Also I don’t think jealousy is at the root of such criticisms along the lines of her relationship with Harvey Weinstein. I actually can’t stand the way Rose McGowan has gone on this rampage that began with MeToo and seems to be more about her own trauma and her own narcissism than anything else, but she wasn’t out of line pointing out what she did about Streep and Weinstein.
@1027 EastSide
So you think Rose McGowan rightfully complaining about how she was rap*d and how many people in Hollywood gaslit her or straight up lied to protect their own asses, is wrong?
If you were rap*d and then blacklisted, I doubt you would behave normally or not complain or go insane about it. You are clearly very victim blaming and male identified piece of trash. Get the help out of this channel, you garbage!
My Dad had a HUGE crush on her. My Mom didn't mind bc she knew it was merely admiration. And I can also see how she's amusing not just to men but women too. Not to mention, I really like how she portrayed Miranda Priestly. She's very versatile.

As his wife, i wouldn’t mind either. He has good taste.
The guy who had cancer she was there for him. Which makes me love her even more. She has alot of heart and it shines through her work.
Yep. I always found that admirable that she stood by John Cazale until he passed away. He was a great actor too (Fredo in The Godfather).
Their love was absolutely stunning. What a remarkable testimony to how beautiful we can be to one another when we really want to.
And if I remember correctly, when they try to "replace" John Cazale (because of cancer) in Deer Hunter, she refused to act in the movie, if they would do it..
@@sabinchich999 that was Robert De Niro
@@avinavprasai7940 nah, no, no!!
It was about her boyfriend John Cazale 😉
I love her! She's earned her status. She may not be the typical "Hollywood pretty" but that's even better making her unique. Her talent is unmatched as well 💛
Yes. She's one of the actresses who, despite not being considered a sex symbol, was skyrocketed into success purely by her talent and I find that more admirable and inspirational.
Her looks contribute to her huge range, she can go from Mary in she-devil to Florence foster Jenkins
@@LeratoM98 100%
She didn't change her face for Hollywood. She spoke her mind and broke down barrier's.
@@christineperez7562 What "barrier's " did she break down?
Meryl is an example of how you can be a great actor with limited range. Jack Nicholson is another example. I dont think she's overrated. People really soured on her because they realized she played the Hollywood game just like everyone else did. But idk why people get mad at the actors and not the people who set up the system.
She does a far greater variety of roles than Jack Nicholson. I Think she is pretty amazing. But I think the younger generation doesn't think she is that awesome.
Exactly i don't blame the actors it's like victim blaming they probably were forced to bend to the system. As long as they're doing their job well IDC.
Great comparison
@@amberlinmchugh8115 I haven't seen Jack Nicholson do as many varied performances though so I'm not sure they are all that similar.
@@GiftSparks true
She is naturally beautiful in my opinion but it also seems that she makes good decisions about her image. Her features also make her marketable, Hollywood's profits is all about marketing. Her family did great by teaching her confidence early. People underestimate how important that is to developing who you are. She gives off the confident vibe and to many people they either take it as you're arrogant or " she doesn't have anything i don't have". She is just doing what everyone wishes they could, which is making who you are work for you and being ok with that. There are other options people can choose beside resentment and envy to deal with those that are or appear confident in themselves.

Her role in Sophie’s Choice, absolutely a masterpiece!
I agree. This, to me, is the role that solidifies her place as the greatest actress of our lifetime settled as canon. First, because she learned German and then chose to learn how to speak it with a Polish accent for the role.
But mostly because of "The Scene". Those three horrific minutes that give the film its title and that won her the Academy Award. How she struggles to find her voice and assert herself safely to the SS officer, the way you can read her thoughts on her face, and how you can actually see her brain break just by the subtle change in her eyes and her quivering lips when she realizes what is being asked of her. That whole scene was shot in one take. The little girl's terror, screams, and tears are real. Meryl's tears are real. Her silent scream was unscripted. All of it was real and captured in one take.
And once you've seen it, you never ever unsee it.
I remember seeing Meryl Streep in “Sophie’s choice.” the movie came to a close, the lights slowly came up as the credits completed. I sat transfixed, and suddenly broke down weeping. And all I could say was, “that was so sad, that was so sad.” It was the most devastating performance I’d ever seen or have ever seen.
@cara G
Totally agree with every you, 💯!
@pbohearn agree totally. I'm 82, and will never forget her as Sophie. Never. Beyond words.
I think Meryl Streep is a very talented and beautiful lady. She takes her career very seriously and works hard. I feel she deserves the praise. A lovely video! I enjoy how you express information in a fair manner and empathy 🙂.

The reason she is so good. She is flawless and you stop watching Meryl Streep who fades away and you start watching the person she is portraying . Only a handful of actors can truly do that. 💜💜
Silkwood. She was so innocent, simple, and real. I love everything she does. She deserves respect. She is classy.
There's nothing average about Meryl Streep. Her beauty is timeless. She's has an air about her ...like a very expensive and exclusive perfume that you wanna run out and buy and spray all over you. I'd name it "JE NE SAIS QUOI" that unexplainable something.
Honestly how bad could she be her record speaks for itself long marriage and long career. She puts in 💯 plus.
Meryl is a treasure I’m shocked to learn her peers and others hates her. If there’s one actress that always understands the assignment. I love her! I’m a black woman and I always tell my mom who is also black that she favors Meryl it’s uncanny. So naturally I love her even more because of that
Sharon stone had a totally different career. She played the sexy roles and was maybe type cast that way
She worked with Roman Polanski might be one but so did many other people.
@@christineperez7562 She never worked with him.
My faves are her romance roles, Out of Africa, The French Lieutanants Woman, Falling in Love, Bridges of Madison County, all heartfelt palpable love stories. She brought each woman to life in a way that left no doubt as to her feelings for her male counterpart and was vulnerable & strong all at once. A treat to watch ALWAYS.
I loved her in Bridges of Madison County! Her mannerisms in that movie was remarkable! It was like actually watching in on both her and Clint Eastwood’s characters!!
I agree with your choices. I love the way she portraits women in love, like her unforgettable Sophie in "Sophies choice" - one of my favorite movies.
Thanks for mentioning Bridges of Madison County and The French Lieutenants Woman. I also loved her in It's Complicated - one of the funniest romantic comedies of the last twenty years. Meryl can do it all.
As an actress, she acts very well. The roles she plays in the films she act in are very good.
The way she played Julia Child in Julie and Julia just blew my mind. It was like watching Julia herself but in colour.
I haven't seen this movie mentioned in the comments but I highly recommend it, I loved every second of it. Especially for Julia Child fans, they will love this movie. I have seen most of her movies, she is excellent at what she does but this movie is the topper for me.
She is gorgeous I love her especially in she devil and the devil wears prada remarkable. Karine wonderful video as usual
She’s so timeless & talented!!! Love her ! Her daughters are also very talented & the spitting image of their beautiful mother!!!

Meryl works hard and polishes her craft. I have noticed when you are pretty, confident and focused on doing your best in anything in life, people, especially woman to woman, have a problem with it.
Jealousy is an ugly thing! We should be encouraging each other not tearing one another down.
Just the other day, an old work friend said I shouldn't think I am any better then her just because I'm wearing heals, dresses, losing weight and wearing make-up now. I have not spoken to this woman in over 10 years! Yes, when I was at uni, I wore plain clothes,only had a few for best dresses and only wore make-up when we went out as I couldn't afford to replace it after using it so often. I was the fat plain jane in the workplace whilst at uni.
I see her comment as confirmation that I am on the right path. We as women should be happier for each other instead of competitive, especially when we see a fellow sister lose weight, look and feel better.
I like Meryl Steep. My favourite film with her is The Devil's Wear Prada.
I wish women would understand that tearing someone else down does not raise them up.
I’ve never heard or seen anybody not like Meryl Streep? When was this ever a thing? She has more talent on her pinky than most. She’s a legend.
Meryl is a chameleon. She had the ability to become the character. Those accents and her persona are believable! That’s acting! She deserves her accolades!
Some people just are that golden child, everything falls into place for them, along with talent, and hard work, she deserves all the credit she gets!💯🌟
Hi karine!
Can you please do a breakdown on the Egyptian actress Souad Hossni, she was nicknamed the Cinderella of the screen, and her life is very heart breaking.
I always felt she had a unique and beautiful face, different from the usual botoxed nightmares. When I look at her I think "classy". She's one of a few actresses who I consider a master of her craft. Most actors just repeat a few facial expressions and the movie does the work for them. For example, much as I enjoyed the Indiana Jones series, I thought Harrison Ford acted with one expression: varying degrees of constipation.
I wouldn't say Meryl Streep is overrated, but she isn't the ONLY outstanding actress. Kramer vs Kramer, Doubt, The Devil Wears Prada, Silkwood and The Bridges of Madison County are just a few of my favorites! ❤️
But she IS the best actress in the entire world, PeriodT! She is humble to me. I’ve watched all of her movies and love them all. And yes, Bridges of Madison County is just one of my favorites! 🤣❤️
@@LovelyLady. And that's YOUR opinion, PERIODT!
Agreed, there is SO much talent out there from then and now. "The greatest" is in the eye of the beholder 🤷🏽 Also, Kramer vs Kramer was definitely something to watch, quite emotional! Supposedly one of the first movies (if not the first) to talk about, introduce and/or influence the spike in divorces in the U.S.
@@TheRetroWoman80 Exactly! There are too many NATURAL actresses who are gifted aside from Mrs. Streep. Angela Bassett, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Wood, Lynn Whitfield, Cicely Tyson, Diahann Carroll, and Debbi Morgan are just a FEW of my favorites. I even give props to the MULTI TALENTED phenoms Janet Jackson, Diana Ross and Queen Latifah for their penetrating acting performances! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw the title and made a :o because I've never heard anyone say Meryl is hated in any aspect lol! She's really been my childhood since Devil Wears Prada and I love her iconic roles ever since! Thanks for the video! 🥰
I have to agree that "Death Becomes Her" is my favorite movie of hers. It has amazing special effects that were groundbreaking back when it came out and don't look silly today at all. I love that you love this movie, it just helps support my opinion of how great you are!
I’ve always thought if she were European, ppl would talk abt her beauty. I remember in high school watching The Deer Hunter. When she came on screen the man next to me was quiet, then finally said to his friend, “she’s pretty”. He had to take time and think abt it. So, that was my introduction to her and initially she wasn’t considered attractive by the general public
They sound Jealous and envious of her. It’s literally not her fault she makes all the right moves and is a phenomenal actress. God has blessed her like he blessed Michael Jordan.
It's about the Detail in her facial Expressions and her body movements; Always accurated and Natural at the Same time ... Just flawless
And she can read easily her role, performing Always in a diffèrent Way
She also seems to captured the vision of the director
I think she is a great actress ! According to me one of her best movies she has made is The Devil wears Prada it was a outstanding and iconic perfomance 😊👍
Same, I still do her blue sweater monologue for every audition. It's just an iconic film.
The color Cerulean Blue is forever stuck in my mind behind that scene, lol
@@dynastyb. That's so awesome! How does the sweater monologue shake out in the audition process, I'm curious? Those are high heels to fill but, coming from a theater background, I would be delighted to see other actors give it a go.
@@carag2567 Well, luckily, I had the chance to tape the audition so every time it didn't feel right, I would just cut it but that third final try felt amazing and I was very proud of myself to do that.
@@dynastyb. I'm proud of you too! It can't be an easy piece to perform given the precedent that Meryl set but even when I first saw the film in the theater in 2006, that scene stood out to me as instantly iconic and such fun material to play with. Good for you having the self-assurance to tackle it. Break a leg in the future, darling! I wish you all the best!
I've never heard one single person hate on Meryl Streep.
Read my comment about her defending Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein
The actor Charles Dance wasn’t crazy about her. In an interview years ago he said that all she talk about was her “craft” which left him cringing and he said she talk about acting like she was curing cancer.
It’s very hard for an actor to get lost into their roles but Meryl has mastered that so well which is what makes her an incredible one. I mean she’s considered a legend
Meryl Streep is an amazing actress. She’s actually my fav. Anything she’s in I’ll give it a chance bc of her body of work. If anyone is jealous, I understand why
Queen! Hope you enjoyed your birthday sis ❤️
Thank you sis 😘💛✨
Meryl may not have known about Weinstein but she knows about Roman Polanski and still defends him til this very day.
She defends Polanski?😒
@@Gypsygirl9 Meryl Streep gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation at the Academy Awards in 2003..
@@ConsciousQueen123 maybe he didn't do anything to her, she'd be with all the others by now.
There's a lot of backstory on Polanski. Far too much to go into here. And regarding Weinstein, everyone knew about him. Oprah was a pal of his! Streep avoided him and he definitely avoided her. Some women even Weinstein was afraid of.
@@Jeymez TH-cam's algorithm won't allow me to post details. You'll have to Google it for yourself.
Yes! I'm so excited for this one. The intro movie clip is a bonus!
Meryl Streep is my favorite actress of all time! No one and I mean no one does it better! I first became a fan when she acted in Kramer vs Kramer and Sophie’s Choice. If you’ve ever seen those movies, then you will know. Don’t talk about my Meryl! Much respect to her! ❤️
I saw a behind the scenes about her a scene in KvsK with Dustin Hoffman. They were acting out the fight and Dustin said she was not connecting like he wanted and literally SLAPPED her. The director and everyone froze because it was so loud and left a red mark on her face. She acted beautifully even after that mess and everyone realized she was a hell of an actress to keep going after dealing with an jerk. That is why directors and producers love her.
DEATH BECOMES HER IS ONE OF THEE BEST MOVIES MADE!!! I just said yesterday that Meryl Streep is my favorite Actress...They big mad because she is EXCELLENT AT HER CRAFT...Many Actress always play themselves, role after role...Ms. Streep is no one trick pony and the girls can't take it!!!🤣🤣🤣✌️
It was hilarious, Meryl was an absolute ham in that movie
Definitely a cult favorite. I still watch it to this day…lol
She's definitely not an "average", nor as an actress, nor her beauty, nor her brains. She's a hell of an actress!
She is not ordinary in any way, there is something earthy and mysterious about her at the same time and she can make you feel emotions like; love, sexual chemistry, fear!!!
She is not overated, she is one of the best !!!
She has serious queen essence
I'm not sure how I feel about her as a person, but she's a stellar actress, and uniquely beautiful. She's always been a class act, and has never used her sexuality in a raunchy way.
I don't understand why anyone would blame her for being chosen, being favored. It's her fault director's prefer her, it's not her fault they don't prefer Sarandon...
c.
jealousy runs deep in Hollywood
Haters
I mean, do you actually know the woman? Or are you saying she's amazing just because she's good at her job?
One thing to watch her from a distance another to work with her. But then again co workers be mad if you don't want to kick it with them. After all, you come to work to work.
@@DiamondsRexpensive good point but she has a long standing, pretty private marriage, their kids seem pretty normal too.
It’s interesting that Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver, where classmates at Yale Drama School, at Yale Streep was the golden child, adored by her teachers/mentors, hailed by her peers. She stepped out of the hallowed halls of the Ivy League and right onto the stage at Lincoln Center, earning immediate praise from the New York theatre community and propelling her into an awarded acting career. Meanwhile, Sigourney Weaver toiled in the shadows. Unable to win lead roles in school productions (the Yale teachers called her "talentless") which had a huge affect on her confidence. After Yale, Weaver auditioned and auditioned in her native Manhattan, like most young performers taking whatever jobs she could get. It wasn't until Ridley Scott cast her in his inauspicious sci-fi horror film Alien that her career took off. Both women are individually talented and unique. Meryl always seemed to know that. While Sigourney had to grow in confidence to learn that fact.
She’s not overrated she earned her place and worked hard to get to where she is now.
People get jealous from the person who works and studies harder than they do because they could get insecure about that. But she definitely earned it.
She aged gracefully. I hope to age as wonderful as she did❤️
My favorite Hollywood story is the fact that Meryl Streep walked around being called 'the goat' and she humbly accepted it and went along with it because she thought they were referring to her as an old goat because she's old. Jennifer Lawrence had to explain that it meant Greatest Of All Time.
Even if I didn't like her, I can never hate someone who's that quirky 😂.

Is AMAZING!!! I just love you Karine. Meryl Streep IS wonderful. She has such natural beauty. Thanks.
She’s Extremely Beautiful And Talented 💐👑
Her beauty is the type of beauty that can tell stories, it helps her blend into so many roles and i love that about her ❤ but her talent is out of this world you can't take that from her, she brings box office money and that's what the business is all about money, so of course they are going to give her first dibs first
Sophie's Choice. Wow. She can transform herself into any character she takes on. This makes her talent an absolute gift for those who witness this transformation.
Too stoked to watch this vid 😍😍😍

She's a great actress....she can morph I to any role...old you g ugly pretty......and she's humble
Woohoo! Meryl would be a fun breakdown🌺🦋
She’s one of the best versatile actresses. Sophie’s Choice and Death becomes her are her best movies.🌹
Meryl is an incredibly natural beauty with SO many amazing performances! People are petty and jealous re her! Just appreciate this gifted woman!
Hi Karine, lovely breakdown as always! I’m not sure why I am feeling the need to express my opinions on Meryl Streep, because I consider no celebrity or human being “perfect” (we’re all flawed and have certain advantages and disadvantages in life), but there’s always so much talk about her career and whether she’s overrated or given everything on a silver platter due to her perfect upbringing; which is appealing to the industry and the audiences they deliver to. But here I am, speaking on a textbook privileged white woman with an “ideal” life story, career, and personal life - how basic (just kidding)! Before I start, let it be known that I believe that Meryl is crazy talented and a celebrity that I don’t have major concerns about when it comes to ethics - team strong and hardworking women here!
I love that you included how she doesn’t have a favorite director, color, or food. She enjoys everything and I think that as a society we are so used to being able to box and categorize people in our minds. So the fact that everyone isn’t able to easily predict her patterns can cause confusion and bring forward the hate. The only thing we can confirm about her is that if she’s starring in something, she’ll likely be nominated for a big award.
Public perception - and frankly male perceptions within the industry: I feel like she gets hate for not sticking to just serious/Oscar-worthy roles, or people think she’s stuck up for not doing more mainstream/cater to the masses types of projects - she does a good mix (The Devil Wears Prada & Mamma Mia, for example). It all comes back to the fact that she enjoys a little bit of everything and sees value in all types of opportunities professionally. She’s well-rounded and no one can take that away from her.
As for her work ethic - no one should criticize a hard worker. We don’t know how much value the said person’s efforts and time bring to their inner peace and help to drive them. You mentioned the toll her workload and stress about about making it took on her, which just presents another reason as to why she is such a perfectionist and in love with her job. I think that she genuinely loves her craft and finds fulfillment in doing her absolute best - even her “worst” performances are noteworthy.
As for her background…haters gonna hate. Sure, a backstory that involves some level of trauma and hardships is interesting to learn about, but I think that it is wonderful that her parents were supportive. They raised a hardworking child who used her advantages to the fullest potential, rather than taking it easy. Not every performer or creator needs to be a “tortured artist” or a “broken soul” - how would the industry function with that much collective trauma? A stable upbringing and life path is uncommon in the industry - refreshing really. Any group and background should be present in any and all industries. She obviously hasn’t needed sad or bad memories to tap into her inner actress, as you mentioned that acting always came naturally to her - but I respect the efforts she put into perfecting the hell out of her passion (which she’s still doing in my opinion).
Regarding Sharon Stone’s comment about her appearance, I also agree that it isn’t necessarily an insult. I do feel that Meryl gives off a relatable energy - both mentally and physically. It aids in how her performances impact an audience. They may see themselves represented and that is a beautiful thing - another added layer to her art. Also, I think that she is beautiful and love the approach she has taken to aging gracefully. She just looks like a happy, content, and confident version of her younger self.
I will assume that other actresses get jealous and hurt by many roles being offered to her first, but Meryl must be respectful and kind to her peers, which adds to why they go to her earlier than others. All these legends/veterans of the industry are talented, but talent alone doesn’t guarantee the first offer for a role - at least that’s what I think. The package as a whole comes off as ideal for any producer/director. All these amazing actresses deserve all the accolades and equal pay to their male counterparts - I respect that Meryl stood up to getting paid the right amount for her role as Miranda Priestly, as you mentioned in the video. She has paved the way for other actresses. Meryl is the first actress that I saw as the real deal growing up, but I get the same energy from Viola Davis, for example. She is also someone who is mega talented, she voices her love for her craft, and stands up for what’s right - such as being treated as equals to men and other women in the industry and being confident in knowing your worth. Both powerhouses, both coming from completely different backgrounds, and both are two of the strongest performers I have ever witnessed. I hope the two actresses are able to work together again, because that would be a treat!
Lastly, I appreciate that she isn’t extra. She’s not trying to break the Internet. She isn’t doing the most on the red carpet. When she’s at an awards show, she is genuinely happy to be present and actually paying attention, with her glasses on. Sure, she’s one of the most successful actors in the industry, but it is refreshing to not always be bombarded by drama, cancel culture, scandals, etc. from her end. She has made smart decisions both professionally and personally - yes, her and her husband are definitely couple goals! She is a true Thespian, a hardworking woman, a loving wife and mother, and the ideal actor to look up to for any aspiring artist, due to how she balances everything and still enjoys her chosen career. Meryl Streep is the GOAT and the Michael Jordan of actresses in Hollywood.
P.S. Meryl’s career > Dustin’s ! ! ! I hate men sometimes…most of the time…
Great comments. Thank you
Let's just pretend that I got my lazy ass up out of bed to give you the standing ovation you so richly deserve 👏👏👏👏for this absolutely gorgeous essay!
RE: her being kind and respectful to her peers. I think it speaks volumes about her character that the last time she used Method acting was for The Devil Wears Prada because she loathed having to be in Miranda's head space at all times and behaving like her. She permanently gave up Method to be a nicer person forever. That has to translate.
@@carag2567 You are too kind - thank you!
@@carag2567 Miranda was a tough character to portray - to play someone so cruel-hearted who was looking out for themselves and lacked empathy. I had no idea that was Meryl’s last attempt at method acting, but it makes total sense. She’s done relatively more relatable portrayals since, unless she was doing a period piece.
Death becomes her is one of my favorite movies!! It's mainly because of her role! 😊
She's anything but average, she's tall, has a gorgeous figure, excuisite, exotic face, and is extremely charming. Her work ethic is flawless. My favourite roles of hers are in The Bridges of Madison County and Adaptation. Death Becomes Her is an amazing film!
I think people are envious of her and her 'perfect' life, and it's to be expected because the woman really does seem to have it all. The only thing that is bothersome/questionable from my point of view is her relationship with HW and whether or not she knew of his extracurricular activities.
I love Meryl and I think she is beautiful in comparison to other people she just has a different look
Most women go after the same look , she another kind of beauty :)
In Sophie’s Choice Meryl Streep was absolutely beautiful and without doubt the best acting of any movie she’s ever done.
That thumbnail of Meryl Streep is enough to make me click Quick!
Beautiful😍
Meryl's beauty is STUNNING...there is nothing average about her looks or her acting. I didn't not know that anyone felt that way about her. I find her beauty to be memorable and one of a kind!!! I've only heard praise, honestly:)
She is brilliant, she can play anything no one has came after her, that can match her talent so yeah she can be arrogant as wants she’s earned it 👍🥰❤️
Hi @Karine Alourde First off I'm a huge fan from the UK. I watch you're breakdown vids religiously literally! and I love how in-depth you go when breaking down these iconic stars. I do have two request one of them is if you could do a breakdown of the actress and activist rose mcgowan. My personal opinion I think she is such an icon I grew up watching her on charmed with my big sis 🥰, scream and jawbreaker and I feel she deserves a breakdown. And the other is uma thurman! again an icon and I grew up watching her my first time seeing uma was her role as poison ivy in the movie batam and Robin and I loved her ever since.
*Batman* my bad
Yes I agree I love Uma Thurman one of my faves!!
Uma Thurman in Kill Bill is iconic and My Super Ex-Girlfriend is hilarious.
Hey Karine ! I'm at work and can't watch the video but will come back to it! Can you please do Sofia Vergara?
I think its sad that other actors criticised her for having a good upbringing/supportive parents etc. Yes it set up the foundations for her success but she didn't choose who she was born to. I had an ugly upbringing but love to hear about other people who had stable upbringings, had good educations etc just as much as I love to hear rags to riches stories and the like. It's cruel to criticise or take away from other people's success stories just because you had it harder or tougher. Once you remove envy and comparison from your life, life becomes way more enjoyable
Sophie's Choice was stunning and unforgettable. The story was so sad, I don't think I could rewatch that film.
Hi Karine, you id a fantastic job on this vid of Meryl and I empathize with you regarding Meryl. Not many actresses of any decade are as versatile in their craft or as classy!
Certainly not the likes of Sharon Stone or Susan Sarandon, who are both fabulous, but...Meryl just exudes class and I don't think she is tabloid fodder bc she is a woman beyond all that b.s. Oh, and her beauty is just european classic, like a rennaisance painting; also so natural. Some of my fave movies are Deer Hunter, Bridges of Madison County, Silkwood, Devil Wears Prada.
Btw, you looked lovely in your birthday pic and hope your celebration matched that; your spirit of class, and sweetness comes thru in a photo always. Thx for all your hard work and look forward to all of your posts; the sultry lower tone of your voice is so relaxing too. Peace and love
Thanks you Queen for showcasing Meryl. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER. She is just Stunning n Powerful like Thatcher
People hate Meryl? Didn't know that. She is my favorite actress next to Angela Bassett
Love Meryl Streep! Shows how hard work and dedication pays off! I also think she is beautiful and has a unique beauty that’s not cookie cutter neither exotic.
She's so iconic 💖

Because she's focused and respects her work, she gets criticism. At the end of the day, she's mega-talented, smart, has looks, and knows how to play the game. People can learn from her humility and focus and the road she paved for women and others.
That woman is soooo beautiful ❤️😍
I met her in 1978. I was working at a pricey deli called DeRoma's on West Broadway in SoHo. She is a lovely, lovely woman.
That’s so cool you met her !
This was great!!! I was thinking to myself yesterday, she needs to do Meryl and Jane Fonda.
She's a master. No-one ever disses her in my presence!!! xoxoxox
She is has just been amazing at every movie she has played in , so to me I have loved every movie she has came out in , she is such a great actress and is just as great in comical movies too ! Yup ! So she is all that !!
My favorite role Meryl played was in The Devil Wears Prada as Miranda Priestley. She nailed that role and played a cold hearted and ruthless boss like a pro!
Lol Yesss Karine, Death Becomes Her was soooo good.
And still is. She did such a great job and then all the looks honey.💅🏾💃🏾😂
She was so beautiful when she was younger!
Amazing she has this eternal old soul look to her
I love Death Becomes Her. Also the House of the Spirits is a good one.
