Yeah, no.
It will be a smear job. Amazing how people on FR pimp for the liberal media, hollywood, celebs.
British thespians had better pray Hollywood doesn't retaliate.
My choice would have been Emma Thompson.
I don’t know much about the Iron Lady but Meryl Streep really can’t pull off her looks, at least not in that picture. She looks like she just saw a tarantula or something while the Baroness looks steely and confident.
Yeah, no.
I totally resent hollywood scum-sucking progressive liberal America haters who think they are great for doing what they do in the first place. I resent even more when such an anti-conservative hateful actor gets to play the part of real hero who stood up for everything that actor was mostly against.
I read about this movie. It portrays Thatcher as a dementia riddle old bat who regrets all the decisions she made in the past. It is upsetting a lot of people, including Maggie herself. A real smear job.
My choice would’ve been Bo Derek. At least she’s a conservative.
I predict a box office failure. Thatcher fans won’t go see it because they know it’ll trash Thatcher. Thatcher haters won’t go see it because why would they see a movie about someone they don’t like.
I would have gone with a British actress. As soon as I saw Streep had the role, I knew I wouldn’t want to see it.
The earrings and necklace are spot on. That’s it.
Last thing I want to see is more leftwing spin
Streep is one of the few real actresses left in Hollyweird today. Ya want Britney Spears to play Lady Thatcher?
Looking at the two photos side-by-side the likeness is close enough....and like any veteran actress Streep will turn into the Prime Minister before our very eyes.
Really, did Errol Flynn look like General Custer? Who cares! I actually hoped Custer would have looked like Flynn. But Flynn played him to the hilt with zest and flair and hunkiness and darn good dramatic acting....and that, my friends, is why the marvelous bio-pics of the thirties and forties were such a big part of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
(P.S....it's more important to pay attention to what some lefty screen writers write for the actors to say in this movie. As Shakespeare might have said, "Herein may lie the rub")

“Streep, one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, was seen as one of the few women capable of convincingly playing Lady Thatcher”
No, she is seen as one of the few—maybe the only, I don’t really know that world all that well—actresses of her age who can headline a hit movie. Oh, and she’s famous for doing accents.
Liberal hit piece? I don't know, but Mamma Mia was just stupid. I'm embarrassed to admit I actually saw that in a movie theater.
Meryl Streep looks clueless... is the movie going to be a spoof?
Thatcher looks far from clueless in her pic. She’s all business with just a little smile.
Who’s playing Reagan? I heard something about Robert Forster recently—which would be fine with me—but I don’t know if it was in connection to this film.
Tssss! Hottie.
I think she could pull it off I hope Meryl Streep don’t turn Maggie Thatcher into Faye Dunwway Joan Crawford character
She doesn’t look anything like her.
