An unintended oversight caused by nothing more sinister than haste. My apologies to Ms. Lacomb whose work I greatly admire.

Wouldn’t that be the decent thing to do?

The pictures of Streep over her lifetime are visually enchanting. In many, she is quietly dazzling. You have to appreciate, too, the times that would permit a 60-year-old woman to be a romantic lead. Or a woman in her late fifties being the lead in a romantic musical (Mama Mia) or the world’s most famed female chef – Julia Childs. To think that the best Bette Davis could get at 54 was Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is really quite extraordinary.

Also thought it pretty interesting that when she was cast to play Clint Eastwood’s love interest in The Bridges of Madison County, many thought her too old for the part of a 45-year-old woman despite the fact that Eastwood was twenty years older.

 

Le Style,

What’s compelling about Streep is that she’s living in the time of her legend – how remarkable is that?

I saw and read the Streep VF piece-the pictures recall just how unusual her beauty was a the time and today as well GT
