Katherine Hepburn, terrible actress. They built films around her.
Meryl Streep. No matter what role she plays, she over acts it.
A surprisingly good actress, singer and dancer, and I didn’t expect it, was Marylyn Monroe in Diamonds are a Girls best friend.
Meryl Streep is a very hammy actress. She’s had some excellent roles that would be hard to mess up, and she’s been good enough not to mess them up. She has an interesting, photogenic face for character acting.
But she supported and hid a rapist for twenty or more years so he could hurt lots of women and girls, and she loves all the other Hollywood pedos. She also throws morality shade on anyone not a Hollywood phony leftist. So any talent she might have is kind of overruled.
