I’m sorry, but however young or old, that face and that nose just shriek bitch to me. I never ever saw anything sexy about her, nor have I ever thought the acting was good enough to overcome that vision.
Someone wrote that Streep `has a sword for a nose’, which alone explains her success in Hollywood.
IIRC, Streep once tried to claim that she was Jewish, but she in fact is of pure SS-Lebensborn Aryan blood on both sides.
Streep did play the non-Jewish wife of the Jewish Dr. Weiss in “Holocaust” (1978), FWIW.
Truman Capote said she looked like a chicken.
