After winning an Oscar for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, Meryl Streep is speaking out in remembrance of the late British Prime Minister.

Although they hardly interacted, the actress says she admires Thatcher and the immeasurable impact she had on role of women in politics:

Meryl Streep is probably the greatest living actress we have, but now she has to take on a more supporting role for her daughter.

After Mamie Gummer's recent divorce announcement, Meryl was ready to help any way she could.

And from the looks of it, laughter is the best medicine!

Well, that and getting some fan love! Just as the two generations got their guffaw on, a man asked Mamie- and not Meryl- for her autograph and a hug!

Must have been one of Emily Owens, M.D.'s loyal patients!

We hate to hear stuff like this!

Meryl Streep's daughter, Mamie Gummer, and her husband Benjamin Walker, have reportedly called it quits on their marriage!

The Emily Owens, M.D. star and the title character in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter got engaged in 2009, married two years later in 2011, and now, two years after that, have apparently decided that enough is enough!

Although thankfully, it doesn't appear to be on terrible terms!

According to her rep:

Meryl Streep is just so dang ahmayzing.

We could listen to her read the phonebook.

So imagine how great it will be to hear the three-time Oscar winner narrate To The Arctic, a film that follows a cute polar bear family!

It's all about a polar bear mama and her two cubs as they just try and live their lives in their changing environment.

With global warming, changing landscapes and other, more dangerous polar bears, this family has a lot to overcome to relocated to a safer habitat.

The movie came out last April and is coming out on DVD and Blu Ray today!

Check out the video (above) for a closer look at the movie.

Meryl Streep is such an inspiration!

The Hope Springs actress got together with Katie Couric to promote her Entertainment Industry Foundation's National Colorectal Cancer Research foundation, which is teamed up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and to do her part, Miz Streep recorded a PSA that urges everyone to get screened for colorectal cancer.

Since Meryl knows how important it is to screen for this type of cancer, she reveals that she made everyone she knows get a test done, and noted:

Steve Carell cannot confirm Meryl Streep's presence in Anchorman 2!

Ah, we get it! Because everyone loves a sweet surprise, Steve definitely doesn't want us reporting about Meryl's potential involvement!

Coming through loud and clear, Steve-O! We promise not to spoil your secret!

Last week we told you Mrz. Streep, one of Hollywood's most acclaimed actresses, was itching to play a part in Anchorman: The Legend Continues, the sequel to one of Hollywood's silliest movies.

At SXSW on Friday — and, while we're on the subject, do NOT forget to buy tickets for One Night In… Austin — Steve cleared up whether or not the Julie & Julia star was literally "begging" for screen time.

He revealed:

One of our favorite Oscars darlings is poised to appear in the Anchorman sequel!!

Before you ask, it's not Quvenzhané Wallis… but that would be cool, too!

In a recent interview, Steve Carell admitted the highly anticipated Will Ferrell vehicle hopes to land the legendary Meryl Streep! Or, more precisely, she's hoping they'll take her!!

Steve revealed:
