Meryl Streep Finally Gets Her First Cover Of American Vogue
Anna Wintour usually puts unflavored bitch (see: Blake NotSoLively) after unflavored bitch (see: Blake NotSoLively, again) on the cover of Vogue, so thankfully someone at Vogue knows what's good and blurted out Meryl Streep's name during a brainstorming meeting over bowls of baby's breath (the actual breath of babies, not the filler flower) in the cafeteria of the Death Eaters' lair. The greatest living actress in the world (next to Nicole Scherzinger from The X-Factor) finally got her first cover of Vogue at the young age of 62. Meryl is the oldest woman to ever be on the cover and inside the issue she talks about how when she turned 40, she thought Hollywood was going to put her old ass out to pasture:
Streep, now 62, tells Vogue magazine she was offered three different roles to play a witch after turning 40. She believed it meant women in her age group were "grotesque on some level," and told her husband "It's over."
I'm sure it warms Meryl's insides to see how much times have changed since she was 40. Nowdays, the witch roles don't go to 40-something actresses. No, those roles go to Charlize Theron now.
Meryl's cover should've been a picture of her as Miranda Priestley choking the bob off of Anna Wintour's head, but I'll still settle for this picture of her looking like her bladder just exploded while she was sitting on the beach.
• 
Not only is Meryl one of the greatest actresses of our time, she is also a classic beauty, and shame on Vogue for waiting this long to put her on the cover, but nonetheless...she still looks amazing!

I loved her in She-Devil with Roseanne Barr. She's actually a fantastic comedic actress.
I think women with actual talent like Miss Streep can age gracefully and not have to worry because they have more going for them then just their "looks".
Reading through all these posts it's amazing how varied her work has been and just the sheer number of films and pretty much all of them have been great. I loved her in The Deer Hunter, Silkwood and Bridges of Madison County.
Also, gave up on Vogue during the grunge era.

i love meryl but vogue covers suck and i'm sick of seeing actresses on the cover. and what's with anna wintour's obsession with water and getting clothes wet? that anna's a bitch
____________________________________________________________
THIS!!!! Bring back putting models on the cover please. There are enough magazines that have celebrities on them...Anna was the one who started this shit of not using models so undue your damage please. And you can start by putting Chanel Iman on the cover...that girl is the TRUTH!
I adore this woman. I can't believe she's never graced the cover of Vogue.
*covers hand with baby powder*
*slaps Anna Wintour*
Only movie as of late that I've seen with her in it is The Manchurian Candidate and she was terrific, so...

She really did make her look like shit. Amy Adams, too. Sorry, ladies.

That's an interesting condition you have. I, for one, would love to go and see a movie with you sometimes, because what happens around you is bound to be more interesting than anything that could happen on the big screen. I was a cinema fanatic when I was younger, but now I too find it impossible to sit through an entire movie.

I quit picking up Vogue when KarTRASHian graced its cover. Perhaps I'll be back since they now seem to be focusing on stars with talent.

Hee. That's how I look at smokers. You see one get out of their car and light a cig while strolling as slowly as possible to the door of the grocery store. They stand there and suck every possible drag out of it and put it out. Then they take a deep breath like they're about to do a deep water dive and push into the store. They walk around as fast as they can doing their shopping, then by the time they walk back out a whole 20 minutes later, they already have a new cig in their mouths and will actually hold up the people leaving behind them while they get that cig afire once out the door. Wow.

Well, Meryl, you're in crone* territory now.
* From Wikipedia: "In common Neopagan usage the three female figures are frequently described as the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone, each of which symbolises both a separate stage in the female life cycle and a phase of the moon." Although I hadn't realized it was a pagan thing. Just thought it was conventional wisdom. Go figure.
I absolutely ADORE Meryl, and even at 45, I want to be her when I grow up. Favorite recent movie: It's Complicated (I like Baldwin too) *ducks*

SO often the problem with Streep movies is that the rest of the cast and crew doesn't reach her level of professionalism, I find. Not that there's so often a problem...just that when there is...

It's unanimous - we love Meryl. I love her, too.
Because I know absolutely NOTHING about her private life. Except that she has an interesting(ahem)-looking daughter named Mamie who is also an actress.

Imma change my holiday avie every day until the Big Day. MUAH!
I don't know if it's an actual medical condition or I'm too much of a spaz, but I can't sit still for a movie. I have to even DVR every TV show I watch (which is admittedly a very small number) and when I play them it can take me hours to watch one one-hour show because I have to keep getting up and moving around. So going to a movie is out of the question.

But wait a second...she gave up and played a witch anyway! Din't she play Julia Childs too? How was that?
_____________________________________________
Yes, last year in "Julie and Julia." Meryl was, predictably, excellent and carried the movie. Amy Adams, who I usually REALLY like, was way too obnoxious and nitpicky to be taken seriously. The movie would've been better off IMO as a biopic about Julia Child (with Streep, of course) because she really just dominates the entire movie and the other story seems like it's just thrown in there.

That's a lot of photoshop right there, but she's a true beauty and way more talented and interesting than the of the younger hos who have been on the cover. Show 'em how it's done, Meryl!!
Also, re: playing a witch after 40, she did play Anna W. (Miranda Priestly) and that is the Wickedest One of Them All!

no worries!... i'm gonna take on a bunch of ya to wed this time!... this time is all about getting it done right!... i'm gonna be "Morman" that way!LOL!
OT: Meryl did a great voice cameo for "The Simpsons" back in the day... that in itself should show that she's got talent.

Don't forget her awesomest performance of all - Angels in America. Multiple characters, including a bearded old rabbi at the opening. But especially her Ethel Rosenberg. Just unthefuckbelievably great.
I also recommend her turn with James Lipton on Actors Studio - an excellent palate cleanser from the usual showbiz swill - even Lipton's usual insufferable ass-kissing can't ruin it.

On top of all that she managed to find what must be the greatest civilian husband in all showbiz history, Don Gummer. Now THERE's a grounded man! Cute too.

Vogue sucks balls. I don't know why VB wants it so bad. I outgrew it the same time I outgrew Seventeen magazine. Cosmo too. When you are actually having sex, you know how stupid their articles are. I wonder when it is going to go to the great recycling bin in the sky? Pretty soon considering the "Recharge your workout" article. Are they Shape magazine now?
