Meryl is one of those rare few who was BORN to be what she does. Ridiculously talented. Incredibly attractive. She has the most classically lovely features. She is innovative, genius and a legend.
+Cammiboe : Agree 1000%. Greatest actor I have ever seen, and I've seen a heck of lot in my time : great British, European, American actors etc. She beats them all. A truly gifted actor. Just her range of accents is amazing. I live in Australia and I can tell you that she got the voice of Lindy Chamberlain perfectly. I really don't know how she does it.
didnt even mention that not only did she do a polish accent in sophies choice...but she learned german and spoke it in a POLISH accent as well speak in the polish language itself. shes so awesome it hurts
No she fucking didn't speak it with a Polish accent 🤣 Why do people insist on pulling these invented facts out of their asses? To get easy likes from other retards I suppose.
She is amazing and extremely versatile not only in her accent but in her look and body language too, she is never Meryl Streep. She is always someone else. Great video
It's not just the accents. It's the change in the tone, resonance, pitch, just everything. The same woman does Julia and Sophie? THAT is amazing. She is amazing. Even physical embodiment. And the same example. Julia? Sophie? Play the scene where Sophie is at the station and is so frail and just slips to the floor and where Julia enters a room "Hellloooo".
Have you seen her portrayed a rabbi in Angels in America? Talk about physical embodiment. Speaking of which, how about the first scenes in Iron Lady where she was now the aging Margaret buying milk from a store.
Her Polish impersionation is beyond excellent. She even has that glow in her eyes that people who have limted command in a language have, if you ever talked to a foreigner with basic English you'll know what I am talking about.
To me, her very best one was the Polish accent from "Sophie's choice". There were moments I could not even understand what she was saying. Her most tragic role, I think her performance truly marked me. Oh, and as for her perfect british accent, I believe it was more accurate in "Plenty". If I hadn't known better, I'd have said she was born and raised in England. Amazing woman, Meryl Streep.
CaterinaEvClub haven’t seen Sophie’s choice, but I watched the scene where she makes the choice. I’m German and bloody hell she just fucking nails ( as an American) German with a polnisch accent!! That woman...
I agree --her accent in Plenty is deeply and seriously British !! Just my two cents: perhaps her British accent in French Lieutenant's arises from the character she portrayed: a damaged, lonely, tragic, and self-deprecating artist.: hence lots of drama in the persona. Whereas in Plenty, her character was more of social in nature.
She is not only masterful with language and dialect but she has the uncanny ability to get deep into the heart and soul of every character she plays. Marvelous Meryl Streep!
+John Ross Fischer Her Irish is the only accent she had a coach for and had a really hard time apparently. I am amazed at how many mistake I hear in Dancing at Lughnasa
i do SO agree with Mr. Alvin Elmore.... JUST stumbled across this. Am confused by the (so called) "commercial" actor's" comment (???) Meryl was awarded the Kennedy Center Honor in 2011...I mean (smiling) not for nothing. The musical tribute was divine at the KC ceremony, and she, a NJ woman, like me. (NOT here to discuss my own "commercial/pro career") Her eastern European accent as well as the "Bronx"..impeccable! (i have a slight problem with the "dingo took my baby"...THING) hahaha... SHE IS among THE. .... BEST and LOVE her! Iconic and beloved.
She's great in everything, but her performance in Sophie's Choice was absolutely the best performance by an actress in a movie I have EVER seen! It was like a tour de force and almost super human! Totally brilliant.
I can't personally vouch for the authenticity of any of the accents affected here, since I don't really know what a proper Polish, Australian, Danish, Irish or Italian accent sounds like. Accents tend to be very specific to the person using them. For instance, not everybody who was born and bred in The Bronx sounds like the Mother Superior character that Ms. Streep played in "Doubt," but her specific Bronx accent was consistent enough and had enough of the flavors of general New York City speech that I bought it. However, that is not what makes Ms. Streep a great actress. It takes far more than being a good mimic to be a good actress. Ms. Streep is expert at building a character from the ground up. Mimicry is just a part of that process.
judging by the likes it's not just you, but I completely disagree: she still is very pretty (at least with makeup), but she was drop-dead gorgeous in her twenties/thirties.
I was born in Germany to Croatian parents and therefore spoke a blend of German-Croatian, emigrated to Canada at age 6, was immediately indoctrinated (simultaneously) into English and French.....and I now as an adult my English has long been colored by a mild European-ish accent nobody can identify, not even me. An indistinct sound.....suits me just fine.
"And yet here one is", always amazes me how she can capture anyone's personality. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that all these characters are portrayed by one person. Each is distinct, each is nuanced up to the smallest detail, and boy do those details count. Everyday I have a new favorite performance of hers and it's astounding and thrilling that, that is possible. Today is Sister Beauvier.
Amazing.Her movies are timeless and still refreshes my mind her distinctive accent. She is a perfect woman born with a rare tongue. A linguistic should i say.
Amazing actress. she ll be remembered as perhaps the greatest female actress of all time. some of those accents by todays standards are a bit rough, today, given all the voice and dialect coaches, and the internet- people grow up listening and learning hundreds of different accents and tones from much earlier.
1 of my all time actresses. her name will go down in history with the likes of bette davis. she will always b a true silver screen legend. better than 2day's shity actors we have, i bet none of them will still b heard of in 40 yrs time. so much talent & charisma. the roles she played in sophies choice & the iron lady my god just so powerful, no 1 could have done it better. meryl u have always bin & always will b a true screen icon xxx
Meryl you are the best I watch every day one of your movies you are a great actress God bless you for all your talents and thank youfor all your movies
Amazing woman, amazing actress...she's enjoyed such a long and illustrious career and never once have we seen the ego and controversy displayed by her modern day counterparts. Her talent is real and speaks for itself. I'm forever inspired and awed by her.
This is fun to watch and Meryl Streep’s brilliance is astounding!! However, I would have appreciated if you had continued naming the languages she was speaking through the entire video and also if you had included the name of each movie!
And along with these incredible performances can now be added her flawless portrayal of Margaret Thatcher, as always, her utter consumption of the character in hand means you never see Meryl Streep while all the time watching her...amazing!
meryl is so amazing.. so versatile.. an excellent actress! if i were in my child bearing years still, I would name a child of mine after her. Meryl = brilliant!
Meryl Streep is the greatest actress who ever lived. But Gary Oldman does an entirely different voice (not just accent) in every film he's ever done. If you made a video like this for him, it would be twice as long.
Wow, she really is an acting legend. And people use that term lightly now, but she really is on a whole another level. I feel the same awe for her acting skills as I do when I meet an genius level intellectual. There's just something they are able to achieve that breaks the barrier between what is effort and what is prodigy.
As a second generation American-Pole, I'd like to point out how well she spoke Polish in Sophie's Choice. She spoke Polish with a perfect Polish accent. The greatest actress ever.
When I watched her as Julia Childs I thought her accent was crazy and exaggerated but I had never heard the actual Julia Childs. Then I did and nearly fell off my chair. It is utter perfection and sounds exactly like her in every intonation, vibration, everything. It's some sort of wizardry that woman has, I tell you!
Meryl is one of those rare few who was BORN to be what she does. Ridiculously talented. Incredibly attractive. She has the most classically lovely features. She is innovative, genius and a legend.
Couldn't agree more
Indeed.. I find her extremely related to Maria Callas
Meryl is my all time favorite, nobody even comes close!
+Cammiboe : Agree 1000%.
Greatest actor I have ever seen, and I've seen a heck of lot in my time : great British, European, American actors etc. She beats them all. A truly gifted actor. Just her range of accents is amazing. I live in Australia and I can tell you that she got the voice of Lindy Chamberlain perfectly. I really don't know how she does it.
She has beautiful high cheekbones and features. She has such a dignified and classically beautiful look.
didnt even mention that not only did she do a polish accent in sophies choice...but she learned german and spoke it in a POLISH accent as well speak in the polish language itself. shes so awesome it hurts
That wasn’t polish accent. In Sophie’s choice she sounded like Ukrainian or Russian trying to speak polish
No she fucking didn't speak it with a Polish accent 🤣 Why do people insist on pulling these invented facts out of their asses? To get easy likes from other retards I suppose.
She is amazing and extremely versatile not only in her accent but in her look and body language too, she is never Meryl Streep. She is always someone else. Great video

donde esta mi movil me lo han quitado
que pena.

I'm living in Poland and I would say that it sounds more Ukrainian than Polish. I can't do accents and I admire her work anyway ;)
Stefania Pikus
I'm Ukrainian and I'll agree 😉
I think Marion Cotillard has done pretty good Polish accent on the film "Immigrant".
a perfect Polish accent from before the second World War , it has changed a lot here since then
Someone should make an animated movie where Meryl Streep dubs every single character!!
And every character is from different country
To me, her very best one was the Polish accent from "Sophie's choice". There were moments I could not even understand what she was saying. Her most tragic role, I think her performance truly marked me. Oh, and as for her perfect british accent, I believe it was more accurate in "Plenty".

CaterinaEvClub haven’t seen Sophie’s choice, but I watched the scene where she makes the choice. I’m German and bloody hell she just fucking nails ( as an American) German with a polnisch accent!! That woman...
Maybe the only American actor/actress who can do convincing accents.
I agree --her accent in Plenty is deeply and seriously British !! Just my two cents: perhaps her British accent in French Lieutenant's arises from the character she portrayed: a damaged, lonely, tragic, and self-deprecating artist.: hence lots of drama in the persona. Whereas in Plenty, her character was more of social in nature.
As a native Android, I have to say Meryl has the best accent I've ever heard from a non-Android native.
🤣🤣🤣
She is not only masterful with language and dialect but she has the uncanny ability to get deep into the heart and soul of every character she plays. Marvelous Meryl Streep!
i love that "android" is a dialect.
I'm Australian and I think Meryl did an amazing job at her Aussie accent. She is truly a great actress
You forgot Margaret Thatcher's impersonation in the iron lady. Superb performance!
+Dex Knows the video was made in 2009
This Video came out in 2009, Iron Lady didn't come out until 2011....XD
Her Irish accent and Irish-American ones are so on point. You would think she was born there.
It was good but not so good to think she was born there trust me
+John Ross Fischer Her Irish is the only accent she had a coach for and had a really hard time apparently. I am amazed at how many mistake I hear in Dancing at Lughnasa
I like her Polish accent.
So sexy
Roger Ebert said something like her Polish accent in Sophie's Choice is the only accent that he's ever wanted to hug!
Grace Zabirskie made an honourable attempt of speaking English with Polish accent in 'Inland Empire'.
watch?v=oxZNfxPeAyM
s'cur'crow
She is one of the Top 5 greatest actors of all time. Men included.
please shut the fuck up. as a professional commercial actor i think i have the authority to judge
It really dosnt give you the authority to judge because you could still be a shitty judge.
i do SO agree with Mr. Alvin Elmore.... JUST stumbled across this. Am confused by the (so called) "commercial" actor's" comment (???)

Alvin Elmore Hell yeah! hahaha! You tell him! xD
*****
And how come I never heard of you?
She's absolutely amazing in every character, every nationality she portrays and a vision to watch
I have never seen a more mind blowing performance by an actor than the one she gave in Sophie's Choice.
wow. she is amazing.
LIVING LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!
So wonderfu actress. She is BEST!!
My god Meryl is so talented and mesmerizing. I love her so much.
Meryl Streep - The best actress ever!
Goodness gracious. She has always been an absolute delight. She puts in the work, let me tell ya.
You won't know how awesome is her Polish-English unless You're Polish :)
Polish is just superbly designed with her just wow
it's amazing how sometimes her face appeals to her accent
Absolutely incredible actress. Not only did she have a Polish accent in Sophie's Choice, she spoke German in the movie with a Polish accent!
Unquestionably, the greatest actress of our generation. She has no competition.
She's great in everything, but her performance in Sophie's Choice was absolutely the best performance by an actress in a movie I have EVER seen! It was like a tour de force and almost super human! Totally brilliant.
where's the devil wears prada. i love her voice there
i like meryl streep
"That's all"
her miranda voice is just her normal voice, just quieter and with slightly more clipped
"It's not a question". is to die for. with her fingers touching her earring. She is too brilliant she ' s not human
"By all means move at a glacial pace, you know how that thrills me."
Thanks for a great tribute to the best actress in the world.
And by having this huge talent she is still a down to earth person. She enjoys playing enjoys life. A real role model.

Excellent observation.. I agree with you 100%. 👍
This was wonderful. She is so very talented. And not afraid to challenge herself.
She's a freakin masterpiece
She sounds more Irish than I do. Haha
She is so talented in acting and even in singing. I could listen her singing all day!
She is the ultimate chameleon! Love her
Her Polish accent is great.
+Katherine Alexandra ALL of her accents are great, my dear. :):)
No its not, it doesnt sound like Polish accent - it sounds Ukrainian or Russian mixture.
MsBlondeYo It sounds like the Polish accent before the war, the accent has changed over the years...
@@MsBlonde0000 Russian/Ukrainian doesn't have the SH sound
Simply the best. Hands down.
It´s easy... best actress
ever!!
Facil.. la mejor actriz el mundo
She can make her voice sound like an entirely different person, this is why they give her so many awards.
Finally understood what cam meant when he said that "meryl streep could play batman and be the right choice"
Meryl Streep is TOO bloody brilliant. When she plays a role, she's not Meryl playing a character, she IS the character.
She gets prettier as she grows older, is it just me?
Shes a woman of fine age :)
judging by the likes it's not just you, but I completely disagree: she still is very pretty (at least with makeup), but she was drop-dead gorgeous in her twenties/thirties.
@Stacy Caruso Wow, that's both shocking and interesting, if it is true. Where do you know this from?
Me
What as amazing actress! "Acting happens or it does not happen" - it happens every time when Meryl Streep acts.
Best actress ever!!!
She got Julia's accent down 100% ! and her amusing antics also! she is wonderful! :)
She is one of a kind. Her irish, New York, aussie, are my favorite. She is so talented.
I never get tired of watching her Julia Child, so lovable
I was born in Germany to Croatian parents and therefore spoke a blend of German-Croatian, emigrated to Canada at age 6, was immediately indoctrinated (simultaneously) into English and French.....and I now as an adult my English has long been colored by a mild European-ish accent nobody can identify, not even me. An indistinct sound.....suits me just fine.
Streep is brilliant, one of the very best actresses ever...imho!! Thanks for sharing~
She has a doctorate degree in Fine Arts! Dr. Meryl Streep!
Seen all dem films and she deserves an oscar for every role!!!!! Meryl your amazing!!!!!!! xxx
And that's why Joan Rivers wanted Streep to declaim at her funeral in six different languages!
Woa! *.*
Meryl Streep you are the true definition of Talent! TY for sharing your words and story with us! : D
Her Polish accent is phenomenal.
The best actress ever!!!
Amazing!
"And yet here one is", always amazes me how she can capture anyone's personality. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that all these characters are portrayed by one person. Each is distinct, each is nuanced up to the smallest detail, and boy do those details count. Everyday I have a new favorite performance of hers and it's astounding and thrilling that, that is possible. Today is Sister Beauvier.
I love that her filmography is so vast. Though I've seen an awful lot of her movies, there are still many more to watch.
To say that this woman is a legend would be an understatement
Amazing.Her movies are timeless and still refreshes my mind her distinctive accent. She is a perfect woman born with a rare tongue. A linguistic should i say.
Amazing actress. she ll be remembered as perhaps the greatest female actress of all time. some of those accents by todays standards are a bit rough, today, given all the voice and dialect coaches, and the internet- people grow up listening and learning hundreds of different accents and tones from much earlier.
Oh God.!! She is really Marvelous.. she has a wonderful voice and can put it as she wants ..! I love her
Thanks a lot for this clip. It really shows how versatile Meryl Streep is as an actress.
She is the best actor that ever lived
1 of my all time actresses. her name will go down in history with the likes of bette davis. she will always b a true silver screen legend. better than 2day's shity actors we have, i bet none of them will still b heard of in 40 yrs time. so much talent & charisma. the roles she played in sophies choice & the iron lady my god just so powerful, no 1 could have done it better. meryl u have always bin & always will b a true screen icon xxx
What an amazing actress!!
What a fine actress. It's such a pleasure watching her.
i am from Recife in Brazil south america and we loved this film from down here in this part of the world ...
What film? Which film do you speaketh of? There were quite a few shown in the 5 minute clip.
There's also the fact that her voice is just wonderful to listen to. Without the accents. Or with the accents. Ugh. ❤️
Love her or hate her - I love her!
5 minutes. 5 whole minutes of her versatility. This woman is brilliant.
My god, she does all kinds of accents. It's insane! She has so much talent!
Meryl you are the best I watch every day one of your movies you are a great actress
God bless you for all your talents and thank youfor all your movies
This woman is just brilliant!!
what a talented woman...meryl streep is probably the most gifted actress who ever lived.she can portray any role in a movie.....
Meryl Streep fenomenal actress and I think she is a very intresting person
The most talented lady... Hats off..
so much respect for this woman. Simply splendid.
Meryl is such an inspiration to me. Like her, I too have a natural ability to pick up any accent. I just love her.
Amazing woman, amazing actress...she's enjoyed such a long and illustrious career and never once have we seen the ego and controversy displayed by her modern day counterparts. Her talent is real and speaks for itself. I'm forever inspired and awed by her.
I just adore her! she is soooo talented!!!
This is fun to watch and Meryl Streep’s brilliance is astounding!! However, I would have appreciated if you had continued naming the languages she was speaking through the entire video and also if you had included the name of each movie!
Amazing tribute to an amazing actress!
Meryl is such a natural. I have no further words to say. She is in a class of her own.
1:58
I'm mesmerized by her hand gestures every time I watch her.
Such elegance!
love it!! She is ssoooooo good at accents!!!!!!!!!
Her polish accent is damn good - she sounds like a complete foreigner but she’s American. 🤯 mind blown
And along with these incredible performances can now be added her flawless portrayal of Margaret Thatcher, as always, her utter consumption of the character in hand means you never see Meryl Streep while all the time watching her...amazing!
meryl is so amazing.. so versatile.. an excellent actress! if i were in my child bearing years still, I would name a child of mine after her. Meryl = brilliant!
Streep is a very talented actress and she is an example of one who has not squandered her gifts. Very commendable.
Remember, most talented people are only good at one thing.
Can they re-wire a plug, though?
MealyMouthedLeach
I cannot rewire a plug, but I can calculate how much a military move will cost quickly and accurately.
5-minute masterclass in acting.
she is the best actress in the cinema I love her :)
She is such a great actor... I cannot...
