Before even reading the list I can tell you numbers 1-10: Meryl Streep. It is amazing she has stayed as thin as she has with all the scenery she has chewed up over the years. The word “overrated” is underrated for her over the top “acting.”

She’s actually an amazing actress. I cannot believe how she becomes the characters. It is really incredible. I mean when you think that she literally became Margaret Thatcher that is saying something. She literally became Julia Childs.

I thought she was good in “The Devil Wears Prada,” not that the role was a stretch or anything.

Agree. Streep is the worst and is so bad I felt compelled to click on this thread to make sure her name was mentioned. Thanks.

wow - I'm shocked by your assessment of Meryl Streep. Every movie I have ever seen with her leaves me amazed at her range. I think she is possibly America's best actress.

Please do not think me flip FD, but have you seen most of her films?

She only made number two. Nicholson was number one and the way the guy explained it, it makes total sense.

I am not sure about Hepburn and Tracey but he does have very valid points about them.

She was brilliant in Out of Africa.

Not real big into Meryl Streep, but I thought she was great in “The River Wild” and “Julie and Julia.” Never saw that “Devil Wears Prada” movie, thankfully.

Watching Streep act is just that, watching Streep act. She is so over the top and exaggerated in her roles that she just makes me cringe.

I can’t remember one memorable performance. Not one. She annoys the heck out of me.
