“Did You Fall Down And Smack Your Little Head On The Pavement?”: A Spotlight On Meryl Streep

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Meryl Streep into the ol’ VCR.

On June 22, 1949, a star was born. 

No, I’m not doing a bit. 

Okay, I’m kind of doing a bit, but work with me. 

On June 22, 1949, a star was born. 

Not just any star, but one Mary Louise Streep. 

Or, as you may know her better, Meryl Streep. 

(See what I did there?) 

Meryl Streep came up through the Vassar College theater program, where she would receive her Bachelor of Arts in Drama, and then went on to the Yale School of Drama, where she received her Master of Fine Arts degree. 

Meryl transitioned from the theater to the big screen in 1977, with her first feature film role in Julia. 

And since then, she’s brought a multitude of characters, both factual and fictional, to life (or back to life, as it were). 

As with most of the actors and directors we spotlight, you don’t need me to tell you how good of an actor THE Meryl Streep is, for crying out loud. 

She’s played everyone from Julia Child to Miranda Priestly and still had time to sing “The Winner Takes It All” in one gd take. 

ONE. TAKE. 

I digress. 

Meryl, if you ever see this, thank you so much for sharing your immense talent with the world. 🖤 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite pieces of Meryl Streep content:
