Interesting fact:

57% of Streep’s nominated roles have been based on real people. The actress has a profound ability to mimic the mannerisms and voices of her subjects. Some of these roles include Susan Orlean (‘Adaptation’), Roberta Guaspari (‘Music of the Heart’), Karen Blixen (‘Out of Africa’), Lindy Chamberlain (‘A Cry in the Dark’), Miranda Priestly (‘The Devil Wears Prada’), Julia Child (‘Julie & Julia’), and Margaret Thatcher (‘The Iron Lady’).
