Meryl Streep | First Broadway Play: Trelawny of the Wells

With 32 Golden Globe and 21 Academy Award nominations to her name, there is no doubt that Meryl Streep is one very well-appreciated actress. She has established herself as a versatile actress in the 1980s, but her first appearance was actually in a Broadway play, Trelawny of the Wells, in 1975. It was only two years after that she had the chance to appear in Julia. The late 1970s to late 1980s saw her rise to fame, but the 1990s was met with varied commercial success.

From the 2000s to 2010s, however, Streep reclaimed her glory. One of her most memorable roles was playing the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 2011 film The Iron Lady. The actress had also joined the digital bandwagon when she appeared on The Prom and Don’t Look Up, movies released on streaming services HBO Max and Netflix, respectively. It also appears she will be given credit with another Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Prom—her 33rd.
