First Look At Meryl Streep As Margaret Thatcher In The Iron Lady

meryl streep as margaret thatcher

Check out the photo (above) of Meryl Streep as a very convincing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.

Here's what Ms. Streep had to say about her Iron Lady role:

"I am trying to approach the role with as much zeal, fervour and attention to detail as the real Lady Thatcher possesses - I can only hope my stamina will begin to approach her own."

Loves it! And you look FANTASTIC, Meryl!

As we said before, we're very curious to see how you fare in this one.

…We're feeling good about it!

      Again, you fall way short. No, she does not convince me because she looks NOTHING like margaret thatcher. Have you ever seen the woman??? No resemblence at all. Your a moron. Yes, they both have breasts. News flash for ya gay boy, they all don't look the same, i promise.

      She looks like Bette Midler in Hocus Pocus…just saying :)

      Merle's just freakin awesome.

      Please don't say nice things about that monster, Meryl. She is a fascist. If by "zeal" and "fervor" you are referring to the forceful way she tried to unravel society in favor of oligarchy and war mongering, well, maybe.

      At first glance, I thought that was a picture of Faye Dunaway.

      just give her another damn oscar geeze this woman has been waiting for god knows how long and she's always amazing~~~

      NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THATCHER. DIFFERENT FACIAL STRUCTURE. STREEP LOOKS WAAAY BETTER THAN OLD FAT THATCHER.

      To be fair I think it's a pretty good comparison. This coming from someone who's British. The only thing Meryl Streep doesn't have that Thatcher does is the obvious signs of aging.
      Which of course Meryl is very stunning so why would she be so wrinkly?

      uncanny

      Re: bgbreakdown – well said, she was a hateful bitch and probably still is. I hope they show her for the spiteful and evil cow she really is and if they do i will gladly go see it.

      I love this woman! Greatest actress alive.

      OMG.
      On a side note, poor Margaret Thatcher contracted Alzheimer's..but it doesn't detract from her legacy.



    16. 16

      She looks NOTHING like thatcher, but, as she is possibly the best actress I have ever seen, and after her performance in The Queen, I reckon she will be amazing.



    17. 17

      sorry, I made my comment thinking this was Helen Mirren, as she is an amazing british actress, but both are in the same league, so bloody amazing!



    18. 18

      LOL………SORRY. BUT SHE REMINDS ME MORE OF BETTE MIDDLER'S(LOOK) CHARACTER IN HUCOS POCUS MOVIE…..REMEMBER THE WITCH MOVIE? HA HA HA I CAN'T EVEN SPELL IT RIGHT…..I'M A DAMMWIT!!!

      Re: bgbreakdown – Some might say she brought back glory and honor to a rotting and decrepit island nation that was once a great empire. She showed Argentina not to mess with the British over the Falkland Islands - and the Argentians started that. She finished it. Further, many a liberal modern day Brit would have run away crying like a weak Neville Chamberlain.



    20. 20

      She's an amazing actress and your never going to find someone with the exact same bone structure! Ridiculous! At least she will play the part well..



    21. 21

      Umm, I think they have a little more work to do. The thing about Thatcher was, she was such a hard ass as PM and yet pretty.

      Fabulous!
      If anyone can carry this off, Meryl can…
      Looking forward to it & and the shit this movie is gonna stir up!



    23. 23

      She looks like Margeret Thatcher and she will deff get antother Oscar nod for this performance



    24. 24

      Meryl rules!



    25. 25

      Maggie T had a face like a tree trunk, a broad ass, and tits that hung so low I swear her husband had to milk her every morning. Ihave endured 3 decades of Meryl and quite frankly I wished she would get sucked into a black hole and disappear. Why does Hollywood make movies like Twilight, Transformers, Avatar, etc… and think that we want to see a movie about a Reagan ass prunefaced old slag? Ugh!!!



    26. 26

      may i just say FANTASTIC!
