Line 10: \|[[Donald Trump\|Donald J. Trump]], President\|[https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/818419002548568064 Twitter]}} '''Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep''' (born 1949), widely considered by critics and fans alike to be the best actress working today, broke Oscar nomination records with her nomination for Best Supporting Actress (''[[Adaptation]]''). Now with [[Oscar Bait\|seventeen Oscar nominations]] and three wins to her credit, she has tackled virtually every genre in Hollywood, including romantic comedies (''Defending Your Life''), serious dramas (''[[Sophie's ~~Choice\|Sophies~~ Choice]]'', ''Doubt''), action-adventure (''The River Wild''), comedies (''She-Devil''), classic romances (''[[Out of Africa]]''), and and even a musical (''[[Mamma Mia!]]''). Easily identified by her trademark nose, she has also appeared in, among others, ''[[The Devil Wears Prada]]'', ''Silkwood'', ''[[Angels in America]]'' (as an [[Serial Escalation\|elderly male rabbi]], among others), and ''[[Julie and Julia]]''. She has been described as "the successor to [[Bette Davis]]," and in fact Davis herself endorsed Meryl's early work. Her versatility and ability to act with her eyes and face are now unique in Hollywood, but the talent evident in every film is reminiscent of Davis at her best. Onscreen she plays characters with tremendous depth, but oddly Meryl has no 'trademark' - she transforms herself completely for each role she plays in a way no Hollywood actress has done before or since. (Her facility with accents is one of the most praised weapons in her arsenal.) Although critics have described her as 'robotic' and 'acting from the neck up,' recent movies like ''[[Mamma Mia!]]'' provide evidence to the contrary.
