Last year my daughter Alison and I saw Doubt and were so amazed with the acting. Meryl Streep once again took us along with her as if we were in her shoes. We couldn't stop talking about Meryl's performance. When we got home from the theater we watched Kramer vs. Kramer, which when it came out in 1979 was probably the first time I saw Meryl act. Over twenty years between these films!
Then this week Meryl won a Golden Globe for Julie and Julia, in which she truly captured the essence of Julia Child. After I saw this film, I went home and rented The French Chef with Julia Child TV series because I remembered them from my early twenties.
When Meryl accepted the Globe she mentioned that she was simply the vehicle through which these amazing characters have flowed over the years, and that she has sometimes been mistaken as one of them. I say, Meryl, you put on the dress and accept the awards because YOU Meryl Streep are truly amazing!!
And so, just as Julie endeavored to cook every recipe in Julia's cookbook, I decided I must watch every Meryl Streep movie...and blog about it!

Okay, I think the blog is a Great Idea! We just watched Julie/Julia last nite (with our Julia) and had so many laugh out loud moments! What a great film about new beginnings, support and love! I look forward to your insights on Meryl's works of Art!
