“Meryl Streep could play Batman and be the right choice. She’s perfection.”
I didn’t write that but I wish I did. After seeing The Iron Lady last night, my belief that she’s the best actor ever is reconfirmed.
1) Her eyes. She can communicate a lifetime of experience through the expression of her eyes.
2) Her ability with foreign accents. Once the subject of jokes in her “foreign” phase. She did a better British accent for Margaret Thatcher than most Brits I know!
3) Her movements. She not only held and manipulated her body like an elderly lady – she was an elderly lady.
She wins my personal Oscar.
