Meryl Streep (Narrator)

Born: June 22, 1949 in New Jersey

Best Known For: Her ability to master any accent.

Early-life: Mary Louise Streep was born in Summit, New Jersey, on June 22, 1949. A popular high school student, she was a cheerleader and homecoming queen. She always wanted to be a performer, but her first ambition was to be an opera star. She didn't consider acting until she began treading the boards at Vassar College. On completing her degree, Streep enrolled at the Yale School of Drama. While waiting for her big break, she worked as a waitress.

Career: Streep started out on the New York stage before making her TV and film debuts in 1977 in Secret Service and Julia respectively. She received her first Oscar nomination a year later for The Deer Hunter and has been nominated a further 17 times - a record - with wins for Kramer vs Kramer, Sophie's Choice and The Iron Lady. Other acclaimed projects include Holocaust, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Silkwood, Out of Africa, A Cry in the Dark, Postcards from the Edge, The Bridges of Madison County, The Hours, Adaptation, The Devil Wears Prada, Angels in America and box-office smash Mamma Mia! Other recent hits include Doubt, It's Complicated and Julie and Julia.

Quote: 'Let's face it, we were all once three-year-olds who stood in the middle of the living room and everybody thought we were so adorable. Only some of us grow up and get paid for it.'

Trivia: Streep donated her wardrobe from The Devil Wears Prada (2006) to a charity auction.
