EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Meryl Streep, who has received two Oscars and was just nominated for the 17th time for her riveting portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, is certainly on the royal list of the worlds most accomplished actors. Most Americans are quite familiar with Meryl Streeps well-documented career, so Morley Safer focused his 60 Minutes interview on lesser-known aspects of Streeps personal and professional life. Safer began by chatting with Streep about her early career, her family life, and her goals as an actor. He takes us through Streep's humble rise to the top and the role models that helped her refine her passion for acting and women's rights. Streep, who is the national spokesperson for the National Women's History Museum in Washington, DC, tells Safer an inspirational story about a slave who saved a young slave girl from being burned by the lady of the house. The slave was herself burned quite badly and sued for her freedom. She won and took the new name Elizabeth Freeman. The case was a catalyst in the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts. Throughout the interview, Streep focuses on her passion for women of power to be recognized. As Streep says, you never hear someone say, "oh, you are playing a strong-minded man." People expect men to have opinions, but a strong-minded woman always grabs immediate attention. One of Streeps favorite Margaret Thatcher quotes is, "If you want something spoken about, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." Many of Streeps roles feature strong-minded women. Buy a copy to keep reading!
