Meryl Streep

At 75 years old, Meryl Streep has this physical status:

Career

She appeared in five productions over six weeks at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center's National Playwrights Conference in 1975, one of St. Eugene O'Neill's first professional work. She came from New York City in 1975 and was led by Joseph Papp in a production of Trelawny of the Wells opposite Mandy Patinkin and John Lithgow. She went on to appear in five more roles in her first year in New York, including in Henry V's New York Shakespeare Festival productions of Raul Julia and Measure for Measure opposite Sam Waterston and John Cazale. At the time, she fell in love with Cazale and lived with him until his death three years later. She appeared in the Broadway musical Happiness and received an Obie for her role in Alice at the Palace on Off-Broadway.

Although Stitch didn't set out to become a film actor, Robert De Niro's appearance in Taxi Driver (1976) had a major influence on her; she said, 'This is the kind of actress I want to be when I grow up.' Steffiep began auditioning for film roles, but she failed in her lead role in Dino De Laurentiis' King Kong. "This is so ugly," De Laurentiis, who stood before him in Italian, told him of Streep.

Why did you bring me this?"

Steffiep's mother spoke in Italian and she expressed regret for her appearance, but this is it. Here's what you get: She continued to perform on Broadway, appearing in Tennessee Williams' 27 Wagons Full of Cotton and Arthur Miller's A Memory of Two Mondays. She received a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play. Anton Chekhov's Other Broadway appearances include The Cherry Orchard and the Bertolt Brecht-Kurt Weill musical Happy End, in which she appeared off-Broadway at the Chelsea Theater Center. Both films received Drama Desk Award nominations.

Sting's first feature film role came opposite Jane Fonda in the 1977 film Julia, in which she appeared in a small role in a flashback scene. The majority of her scenes were cut out, but the actress's brief time on screen terrifies her:

Fonda has a long-serving presence on her as an actress, according to St. John, who has described her as "open[ing] probably more doors than I should ever know about."

Robert De Niro, who had seen Sturgeon in her stage performance of The Cherry Orchard, suggested that she play his girlfriend in the war film The Deer Hunter (1978). Cazale had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and Stazale played a "vague, stock girlfriend" who would remain with Cazale for the duration of filming.

Longworth notes that Streep:

Pauline Kael, a strong critic of St. Markham, remarked that she was a "true beauty" who gave the film a freshness. Steffiep's success brought her fame to a wider audience, earning her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the Academy.

Steffiep played the leading role of a German woman married to a Jewish artist in Nazi Germany, a German woman played by James Woods in 1978. She found the information to be "unrelently noble" and claimed to have taken on the role of financial gain. While Cazale remained in New York, Stéep traveled to Germany and Austria for filming. Stazale's illness had worsened and she cared for him until his death on March 12, 1978. Holocaust brought St. John Huron's public attention to the place where she was found "on the brink of national prominence." For her role, she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Film by the Primetime Emmy Award. Despite the awards' success, Stacep was still not optimistic about her film career and preferred performing on stage.

In a May 1978 "Theater in America" television series for PBS' Great Performances, Leilah played Leilah in Wendy Wasserstein's Uncommon Women and Others. Glenn Close, who appeared in the Off-Broadway performance at the Phoenix Theatre, was replaced by her.

Stepta, the chirpy love interest of Alan Alda, wished to escape the agony of Cazale's death, was offered a role in The Seduction of Joe Tynan (1979) as the chirpy love interest of Alan Alda, later describing it as a "automatic pilot." Katherine appeared in The Taming of the Shrew for Shakespeare in the Park, and she appeared in The Taming of the Shrew (1979) for Woody Allen. Allen later said that she did not have a complete script, giving her only the six pages of her own scenes, and that she did not expect her to improvise a single word of her dialogue.

Steffieep was cast opposite Dustin Hoffman as an unhappy wife who abandons her husband and her child in the drama Kramer vs. Kramer. The script portrayed the female character as "too bad," according to St. Monica, and she maintained that it was not representative of real women who faced marriage breakdown and child custody disputes. The designers agreed with her, and the script was rewritten. Steffiep talked to her own mother about her work as a wife with a career and visited the Upper East Side neighborhood, which was shot, witnessing parent-child interactions. Despite Hoffman's objection at first, director Robert Benton allowed St. Paul to write her own dialogue in two main scenes. Stanley R. Jaffe reflected on St. Anthony's tirelessness, with Hoffman noting: "She's extraordinarily hard-working to the extent that she's obsessive." She appears to be worried about nothing else but what she's doing." feminists were outraged over the film's "own emotional ferocity," according to Stephen Farber, who said she was one of the "rare performers who can imbue the most mundane scenes with a hint of mystery."

St. George and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer, who was briefly left in the ladies' room after giving her address. She was also honoured with the Best Supporting Actress award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress, and National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress for her three film debuts in 1979. Both The Deer Hunter and Kramer were major commercial successes and were repeat winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In 1979, Stendeep began workshopping Alice in Concert, a musical interpretation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with writer and composer Elizabeth Swados and director Joseph Papp; the performance was on display at the Public Theater in New York. Frank Rich of The New York Times described St. "the production's "one wonder" as the product's "one wonder," but she questioned why she devoted so much energy to it. Sting appeared in leading roles in films by 1980. Jack Kroll said she was on the front page of Newsweek magazine with the headline "A Star of the 80s."

Steffiep dismissed her ferocious media coverage at the time as "excessive hype."

The story of a story tragedy The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981) was Streep's first leading role. The film paired Steffiep and Jeremy Irons as modern actors, as well as the Victorian era dramas they were starring. Streep developed an English accent for the role but said she was mismatched for the role: "I couldn't help wishing that I was more beautiful." Although some female actors of the past had developed a singular identity in their films, a New York magazine article said that Streep was a "chameleon" with the ability to play any role. Steffiep received the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her job. She reunited with Robert Benton for the psychological thriller Still of the Night (1982), co-starring Roy Scheider and Jessica Tandy. The film's producer, Vincent Canby, wrote for The New York Times, said that it was an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's films, but that one of the film's key shortcomings, a lack of chemistry between Stitchcock and Scheider, was "inspiring, but she isn't on screen anywhere near long enough."

Steep's Choice, a young nave writer (Peter MacNicol), and a Jewish intellectual (Kevin Kline), followed a greater success later this year. Streep's emotional dynamism and her apparent mastery of a Polish accent drew adoration. William Styron wrote the book with Ursula Andress in mind for the role of Sophie, but Streep was determined to get the role. Stace filmed the "choice" scene in one shot and then decided not to do it again, finding it incredibly painful and mentally exhausting. According to Emma Brockes of The Guardian, "It's classic Stuff" - the kind of scene that makes your scalp tightens, but her handling of smaller, harder-to-greep emotions - is the most memorable scene of her life. Steffiep received the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role, and her role was named as the third best movie performance of all time by Premiere magazine.

Roger Ebert said of her delivery:

On the contrary, Pauline Kael called the film a "infuriating bad movie" and thought that Sterorealizes" herself, meaning she explained why her film heroines "don't appear to be complete characters and that there are no incidental delights in watching her.

In Mike Nichols' biographical film Silkwood, Steffiep played her first non-fictional character, the nuclear whistleblower and labor union activist Karen Silkwood, who died in a tragic car crash while looking into suspected wrongdoing at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant. Steffiep felt a personal connection to Silkwood, and in preparation, she met with people close to her, discovering that each individual had a particular facet of her personality.

She said:

Despite Karen's father's concern that Strollp's description was "brilliant," Jack Kroll of Newsweek said that it had portrayed him as a human being rather than a myth. Staceep had been miscast, according to Pauline Kael. In the British drama Plenty (1985), which was based on David Hare's script, Sterep next appeared opposite Robert De Niro in the romance Falling in Love (1984), which was poorly received, and depicted a soldier for the French Resistance during World War II. Roger Ebert wrote about "fullness" for the former; it's impossible to be an unbalanced, neurotic, self-destructive woman, as well as a woman who may have merely been a series of symptoms. Molly Haskell praised St. John's appearance in Plenty in 2008, calling it "one of St. Styep's most difficult and ambiguous" films and her "most feminist" role.

Longworth considers that Out of Africa (1985), St. Africa's next generation, has established her as a Hollywood celebrity. Steffiep starred in the film as Karen Blixen, the Danish writer who appeared in Robert Redford's Denys Finch Hatton. Staceymour's role was initially doubtful, because he didn't think she was sexy enough and had considered Jane Seymour for the role. Pollack recalls that St. Mark influenced him in a different way: "She was so precise, so transparent, so without bullshit." There was no shielding between her and me." During the 101-day shooting in Kenya, Stexeep and Pollack often clashed, particularly over Blixen's voice. Stlixen had spent a long time listening to recordings of Blixen on tape and began to talk in an old-fashioned and aristocratic style, which Pollack dismissed as unnecessary. The film, which was a huge commercial success, received a Golden Globe Award for Best Picture. It also received a second Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, and the film eventually received Best Picture. Stanley Kauffmann, a film critic, lauded her performance, saying, "Meryl Sting back to form." "Her appearance in Out of Africa is at the highest level of acting in film today."

Longworth notes that the outrage of Out of Africa prompted a backlash against Streep in the years that followed, particularly when she was still demanding $4 million per picture. Unlike other actors of the time, such as Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise, Stevero "never appeared to play herself," and some commentators felt she should actually see her acting. Her upcoming films did not appeal to a large audience; she co-starred with Jack Nicholson (1986) and Ironweed (1987), in which she appeared onscreen for the first time since the Phoenix Theater's "Great Performances" telecast of the Secret Service (1977). Lindy Chamberlain (1988), an Australian woman who had been found guilty of the murder of her infant daughter despite the fact that the baby had been taken by a dingo, she played Lindy Chamberlain. Steffiep was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Cannes Film Festival and the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress, both filmed in Australia. "I had to read a little bit for Australian because it's not dissimilar [to American], so it's similar to going from Italian to Spanish. You get a little mixed up." Vincent Canby of The New York Times described her appearance as "another impressive display" and "the kind of virtuosity that seems to re-define screen acting."

Steffiep was keen to appear in Oliver Stone's adaptation of the play Evita in 1989, but she pulled out two months before filming was scheduled, citing "exhaustion" as the cause. Steffiep began to appear in a comedy at the end of the decade. In She-Devil (1989), a parody of societal obsession with beauty and cosmetic surgery in which she played a glamorous writer, she discovered her role as a glamorous writer. Despite the fact that the film was not a success, Richard Corliss of Time wrote that Streep was the "one reason" to watch it, and that it marked a change from the dramatic roles she had been accustomed to playing. "Audiences are decreasing," Stacyep said in reaction to her string of poorly received films; as the company's marketing plan more specifically specifies how males are expected to reach males from 16 to 25 years old, it has devolved into a chicken-and-egg syndrome.

Which came first?

They announce all these summer films first, followed by a demographic analysis of who's going to see them."

Karen Hollinger characterized the early 1990s as a downturn in the success of St. Anthony's films, partly due to a critical belief that her comedies had been aimed at a lack of options open to an actress in her forties. In a 1981 interview, Steffiep reported that she had limited choices due to her decision to work in Los Angeles, close to her family, a situation she had feared in. And if you want to fit a couple of babies into the schedule as well, you'll have to select your parts with great care." Steffiep keynoted the first national event in 1990, emphasizing the decrease in women's work chances, wage parity, and role models within the film industry. Both on film and off, she blasted the film industry for downplaying the importance of women.

Steffie P appeared in the comedy-drama The Edge (1990) and the comedy-fantasy Defending Your Life (1991) with Goldie Hawn as their co-star. Sturp encouraged writer David Koepp to re-write several of the scenes, particularly the one in which her character has an affair with a younger man, which she described as "unrealistically male" in its conception. The seven-month shoot was the longest of St. George's career, during which she came out of character by "thinking about being slightly piss off all of the time." Special prosthetics had to be created for age her by ten years to look 54, due to Stoutp's allergies to many cosmetics, although Stenep's appeared to be nearer 70. Death Becomes Her is considered by Longworth as "the most physical appearance" Streep had yet committed to film, including merriment, smirking, and eyerolling. Despite being a commercial success, earning $15.1 million in fewer than five days, Streep's contribution to comedy was generally not appreciated by critics. Richard Corliss of Time wrote approvingly of St. John Witch's "wicked-witch routine," but dismissed the film as "She-Devil with a makeover" and one that "hates women." Streep confessed to disliked filming scenes involving heavy special effects and promised never to work on a film with heavy special effects again.

In The House of the Spirits (1993), set in Chile during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, Steedpe appeared with Jeremy Irons, Glenn Close, and Winona Ryder. Critics were not keen on the film. "This is really quite an achievement," Anthony Lane of The New Yorker wrote. It brings together Jeremy Irons, Meryl Sterbe, Winona Ryder, Antonio Banderas, and Vanessa Redgrave, ensuring that they all gave their best shows ever" without exception. Stevin Bacon and John C. Reilly) appeared in The River Wild the following year as the mother of children on a whitewater rafting trip encountering two violent criminals (Kevin Bacon and John C. Reilly) in the wilderness. Despite general critical reaction, Rolling Stone's Peter Travers found her to be "strong, sassy, and looser than she has ever been onscreen."

Clint Eastwood's romantic drama The Bridges of Madison County (1995), which was based on Robert James Waller's novel of the same name, was St. Joseph's most popular film of the decade. It follows Robert Kincaid (Eastwood), a photographer for National Geographic who has a love affair with middle-aged Italian farm wife Francesca (Streep). Despite the fact that St. Markep disliked the book it was based on, she found the script to be a unique opportunity for an actress her age. She gained weight for the role and dressed differently from the book's model to imitate glamorous Italian film stars, including Sophia Loren. Both Loren and Anna Magnani were instrumental in her portrayal, and Stricke viewed Pier Paolo Pasolini's Mamma Roma (1962) before filming. In the United States, the film was a box office hit and earned over $70 million. Critics greeted the film, rather than the novel. Eastwood's self-congratulatory overkill tale, according to Janet Maslin of The New York Times, had to produce "a touching, elegiac love tale at the root of Mr. Waller's self-congratulatory overkill," while Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal described it as "one of the most pleasurable films in recent memory." Longworth believes that St. Paul's appearance was "critical to turning what could have been a weak soap opera into a vibrant work of historical fiction, implicitly condemning postwar America's stifling culture of domesticity. Staceep is believed to have been the role in which she was "arguably the first middle-aged actress to be taken seriously by Hollywood as a romantic heroine."

In Marvin's Room (1996), an adaptation of Scott McPherson's "Emce Keaton," a woman fighting leukemia. Keaton was recommended by Streep for the job. Leonardo DiCaprio appeared in the film as the rebel son of St. Steffiep's character. "Streep and Keaton, in their various styles, find ways to make Lee and Bessie's expression into something more than their words," Roger Ebert said. The film was well received, and Stacey received another Golden Globe nomination for her role.

Steep's appearance in...First Do No Harm (1997) received her second Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress – Miniseries or a Film. In 1998, Steep first appeared in Pat O'Connor's Dancing at Lughna, another Broadway adaptation that was accepted into the Venice Film Festival for the first time in its year of release. Janet Maslin of The New York Times remarked that "Meryl Streep has made many a grand acting move in her career, but that her way in Dancing at Lughna ranks with the best in the world. The woman she plays here, Kate Mundy, is a woman whose existence is based on the prim, lonely face and its flabbergasted gaze." In One True Thing, she appeared as a housewife dying of cancer later this year. Positive feedback were given to the film. "After One True Thing," Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle announced, "Habitue commentators who persist in the belief that Sting is a cold and technical actor would need to have their heads examined." She is so intuitive and natural, and her mission is to bring us a woman who is both utterly believable and wildly on point. Kenneth Turan, a Los Angeles Times film critic, said that her appearance "is one of the least self-consciously confident and surface showy of her career," but that "her contribution" is "most touching."

In the musical drama Music of the Heart (1999), Roberta Guaspari, a true New Yorker who discovered passion and enlightenment, was depicted by St. Harlem's inner-city youth. Madonna, who dropped out of the project before filming started due to creative differences with director Wes Craven, was replaced by Steep. Streep was required to play the violin for two months, ranging from five to six hours per day. St. Judep received prizes for her work, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actor Guild Award for her role. "Meryl Streep is known for her accent mastery; she may be the most versatile speaker in the theater," Roger Ebert wrote. You may have guessed she has no accent until you've heard her authentic speaking voice; then you realize that Guaspari's speaking style is no less valuable than St. Patrick's other accents. This is not Steffiep's voice, but someone else's, as if later education and refinement came after a somewhat unsophisticated childhood.

In Steven Spielberg's A.I., St. Pete entered the 2000s with a voice cameo. Artificial Intelligence (2001), a science fiction film starring Haley Joel Osment, about a childlike android. St. Neeson, a Norwegian, co-hosted the annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert with Liam Neeson, which was held in Oslo, Norway, on December 11, 2001, in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, the United Nations, and Kofi Annan. Staep's return to the stage in 2001, when she appeared in Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, directed by Mike Nichols, Marcia Gay Harden, Stephen Spinella, Larry Pine, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, came back to the stage for the first time in more than 20 years. Henry Gummer, who later became known as musician Henry Wolfe, was also included in the play as Yakov, a hired labourer.

Stike Jonze's comedic adaptation Adaptation started in the same year. Susan Orlean, a real-life journalist, appeared in (2002). Critics and viewers alike lauded the film for its fourth Golden Globe nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category. St. O. Scott of The New York Times was considered "played with uocent composure," referring to her "lank-haired, toothless charisma" as the autodidact detained for poaching rare orchids. In Stephen Daldry's The Hours (2002), based on Michael Cunningham's 1999 book, Steffiep appeared alongside Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore. The film, which focuses on three people of various generations whose lives are interwoven by Virginia Woolf's book Mrs. Dalloway, was generally well received and received a Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.

In 2003, Steedp reunited with Mike Nichols to star Al Pacino and Emma Thompson in HBO's adaptation of Tony Kushner's six-hour play Angels in America, the story of two couples whose marriages are interwoven despite the turbulent backdrop of Reagan era politics. Steffiep, who appeared in four roles in the miniseries, received her second Emmy Award and her fifth Golden Globe for her appearance. In 2004, Denzel Washington, co-starring Denzel Washington, played both a senator and the manipulative, ruthless mother of a vice president's moderately successful remake of The Manchurian Candidate. She appeared in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events in the first three books in Snicket's book series last year. Critics generally approved the black comedy, and it was voted Academy Award for Best Makeup. The film Palate of Monet was also narrated by St. Andrew Steffiep. St. Andrews was the next cast member of Ben Younger's comedy film Prime (2005). Lisa Metzger, the Jewish psychoanalyst of a divorced and lonesome businesswoman played by Uma Thurman, enters a friendship with Metzger's 23-year-old son (Bryan Greenberg), leads the film. It eventually earned US$67.9 million worldwide, despite a modest mainstream success. Roger Ebert wrote about Streep's ability to cut through the solemnity of a scene with a zinger that reveals how all human endeavour is, after all, comedic at some degree."

St. Courage and Her Children appeared onstage at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park in August and September 2006. The Public Theater production was a new translation by playwright Tony Kushner, with songs in the Weill/Brecht style directed by composer Jeanine Tesori; veteran director George C. Wolfe was in charge. In this three-and-a-half hour performance, Steffiep appeared alongside Kevin Kline and Austin Pendleton. In Robert Altman's last film A Prairie Home Companion (2006), Steep and Lily Tomlin portrayed the last two members of what was once a common family country music act. Lindsay Lohan, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Kline, and Woody Harrelson appear in the film, which revolves around the behind-scenes of the long-running public radio show of the same name. The film earned more than US$26 million, the bulk of which came from domestic markets.

Steedp did well with a role in The Devil Wears Prada (also 2006), a loose screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 book of the same name. Miranda Priestly, the influential and cynical editor of a young college graduate portrayed by Anne Hathaway, was the female and cymical editor of a fashion magazine editor. Though the overall film received mixed feedback, her portrayal of what Ebert refers to as the "poised and imperious Miranda" earned her many award nominations, including her record-breaking 14th Oscar nomination and another Golden Globe. The film, on its commercial debut, became Streep's highest commercial success to this point, grossing more than US$326.5 million worldwide.

In Chen Shi-zheng's long-awaited film drama Dark Matter, a film about a Chinese science graduate student who becomes aggressive after dealing with academic politics at a U.S. university, she portrayed a wealthy university patron. Producers and investors decided to delay Dark Matter's release in honor of the victims of the Virginia Tech shooting in April 2007. On its limited 2008 debut, the drama received mixed feedback. In the political drama Rendition (2007), directed by Gavin Hood, St. Edward Powell played a US government official investigating an Egyptian foreign national accused of terrorism. Storrising a desire to appear in a thriller film, the actress accepted the challenge right away and agreed to the project. Rendition was less commercially successful on its first day and received mixed feedback.

In this period, Steffiep appeared with Vanessa Redgrave, Glenn Close, and her eldest daughter Mamie Gummer in Lajos Koltay's drama film Evening (2007), based on Susan Minot's 1998 book of the same name. It shifts between the present and the past, telling the tale of a bedridden woman who recalls her tumultuous life in the mid-1950s. Critics were critical of the film's "beautifully shot film but then decidedly dull [and] a colossal waste of a talented cast." She appeared in Lions for Lambs, Robert Redford's (also 2007), a film about the links between a platoon of US soldiers in Afghanistan, a US senator, a journalist, and a California college professor. Critics, as well as Evening, believed that the cast was wasted and that it suffered from slowing pacing, but one commentator revealed that Stuff stood out, being "natural, unforced, quietly powerful" in comparison to Redford's forced entry.

Steffiep performed well in Phyllida Lloyd's Mamma Mia, a major commercial success. (2009), a film adaptation of the musical of the same name based on the songs of Swedish pop group ABBA. Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgrd, Colin Firth, Julie Walters, and Christine Baranski were all co-starring Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, a mother and a former girl-group singer whose daughter (Seyfried), a bride-to-bee who never met her father, and three potential paternal candidates were invited to her wedding on the idyllic Greek island of Skopelos Mamma Mia, an instant box office success, is a hit in the Mamma Mia household. It was Streep's highest-grossing film to date, with box office receipts of US$602.6 million, thereby placing it first among the highest-grossing musical films. Stward's role was generally well-reced by analysts, with Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe observing: "The greatest actor in American films has now become a movie star."

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis appear in Doubt (also 2008). A drama centered on a stern principal nun (Streep) of a Bronx Catholic school in 1964 who has reports of pedophilia against a popular priest (Hoffman). The film was praised by several commentators as one of the best films of 2008. For its four lead actors and John Patrick Shanley's script, the film received five Academy Awards, as well as five for its script. The film's creator, Ebert, praised the caricature of a nun, who "hates all inroads of the modern world," while Kelly Vance of The East Bay Express expressed surprise: "It's thrilling to see a pro like Steffiep rise to a purely dramatic role and then ramp it up a few notches just for the sheer terror of it." Sister Aloysius, who is grim, red-eyed, and deathly pale, may be the world's best nun.

Julia Child starred Julia Child in Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia, co-starring Stanley Tucci and then with Amy Adams in 2009. (Tucci and Stucci had worked together in Devil Wears Prada earlier.) Julie and Julia, the first major motion picture based on a blog, compares Child's childhood in the early years of her culinary career with that of Julie Powell (Adams), who hopes to cook all 524 dishes in Child's cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Julia Child's caricature was "quite possibly the best performance of her career," Longworth says, as well as drawing on her own experience to bring lived-in truth to the tale about a late bloomer. Strobeep appeared in Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy It's Complicated (also 2009). Julie & Julia won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and she received her 16th Oscar nomination for it later this year. Mrs. Felicity Fox also appeared in Wes Anderson's stop-motion film Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Steep has re-teamed with Mamma Mia director Phyllida Lloyd on The Iron Lady (2011), a British biographical film about Margaret Thatcher, which follows the Prime Minister's life during the Falklands War and her years in retirement. Steffiep, who attended a session of the House of Commons to see British Members of Parliament (MPs) in action in preparation for her role as Thatcher, called her role "a daunting and thrilling challenge." Despite mixed reception, Steffiep's role earned her Best Actress and BAFTA awards, as well as her third victory at the 84th Academy Awards. Former advisors, colleagues, and families of Thatcher chastised her portrayal of her as "inaccurate" and "biased" and "biased" in this regard. The following year, Stcher released a formal statement describing Thatcher's "hard-nosed fiscal policy" and "hands-off approach to financial regulation," as well as her "personal integrity and grit" in honor of her "personal integrity and grit."

Steffiep reunites with Prada producer David Frankel on the set of the romantic comedy-drama film Hope Springs (2012), co-starring Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell. Stacey and Jones, a middle-aged couple who attend a week of intense marriage therapy, in an effort to re-create love in their marriage. The film's reviews were mostly positive, with critics praising the "mesmerizing performances... which give filmgoers some grown-up laughs... and a thoughtful glimpse at mature relationships." In the black comedy drama August: Osage County (2013), Julia Roberts and Ewan McGregor starred alongside a dysfunctional family that reunifies into the family unit after their patriarch mysteriously dies. Streep's portrayal of the family's strong-willed and conflicting matriarch, who is fighting from oral cancer and an addiction to opioids, according to Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning eponymous play. She was then nominated for a second Golden Globe, SAG, and Academy Award.

Steffiep played a community king in 2014's The Giver, a motion picture recreation of the young adult novel. The social science fiction film, set in 2048, tells the tale of a post-apocalyptic community without war, pain, suffering, ethnicity, or choice, where a young boy is chosen to learn the modern world. Before being asked by co-star and producer Jeff Bridges, Steffiep was aware of the book. The Giver received generally mixed to critical feedback from critics at its unveiling. In addition, Steffiep appeared in The Homesman (2014), a period drama film. Hilary Swank and Tommy Lee Jones play an odd pair who help three women drive to madness by the frontier to get back East. Steffiep does not appear until the end of the film, portraying a preacher's wife who cares for the women. The Homesman premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, where critics largely praised it.

Into the Woods, directed by Rob Marshall (also 2014), is a Disney film adaptation of the Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, in which St. Steep plays a witch. It's a fantasy genre crossover influenced by the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales about a childless couple who set out to break a curse placed on them by St. Petersburg's vengeful witch. Despite the fact that some commentators, such as Mark Kermode, dismissed the film as "irritating naffiness," St. Pete's appearance earned her Academy Award, Golden Globe, SAG, and Critic's Choice Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress. It was announced in July 2014 that St. Callas would be the protagonist in Master Class, but the scheme was scrapped after director Mike Nichols' resignation in November of the same year.

Steffiep appeared in Jonathan Demme's Ricki and the Flash in 2015, playing a grocery store checkout employee by day's night, who is a rock musician at night, and has one last chance to reconnect with her estranged family. Steffiep learned to play the guitar in the semi-autobiographical drama-comedy film, which also starred Mamie Gummer and her eldest daughter Mamie Gummer. The film's reviews were generally mixed. Suffragette (also 2015), co-starring Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, was Steffiep's other film of the year.
