Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep is a legendary figure in the film industry thanks to her history of memorable major performances, and unforgettable supporting turns.

She has been shunned by society for the majority of her existence, thus, she only cares about protecting herself and her daughter. The viewers are given the first impression of Altha Carter as a warm-voiced, soft-cheeked beacon of benevolence, which is a presumption that Streep will slightly sully in her brief on-screen appearance. Streep played Topsy, the eccentric cousin of Mary Poppins from Eastern Europe who operates a repair shop in London. The couple as well as everyone involved eventually have to deal with the unforeseen results of their actions. [The film was based on Kaufman's difficulties](https://collider.com/adaptation-charlie-kaufman-brilliantly-adapts-unadaptable-novel/) to adapt Susan Orlean's nonfiction novel The Orchid Thief in 1998 while he was experiencing writer's block. Streep earned an Oscar for her portrayal of Joanna, who had a lost-in-her-own-life look with a chilly, distant, and depressed expression. Moreover, she is portrayed as the archetypal mother who is compassionate, considerate, and encouraging. [Big Little Lies](https://collider.com/tag/big-little-lies/) centers on three first-grade mothers whose seemingly ideal lives start to fall apart and tangle in a murder. There is no doubt that Julia will be going to a better place since she is upbeat and self-assured, and she lived her life bravely and generously. After dying in a car accident, Defending Your Life follows an advertising executive Daniel Miller (Albert Brooks) who awakens in the ethereal region of Judgement City. Despite playing a supporting role, Streep is able to make her character both lovable and despised. In addition to all of her iconic and well-known leading roles, she also frequently appears in supporting roles.
