With the awards season upon us, the Zebra
staff is placing bets that Meryl Streep will
become a cinematic Secretariat and take home
the film industry’s Best Actress Triple Crown – the
Golden Globe (January 15), the Screen Actors
Guild (January 29) and the Academy Award
(February 26) – for her brilliant portrayal of
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in
The Iron Lady. Born in 1949, her talent for
thoroughly embodying a character has trumped
the age card, breaking box office records in such
recent roles as Julia Child in Julie & Julia and
Jane in It’s Complicated. Recently awarded
a 2011 Kennedy Center Honors for her vast body
of work, and with 16 Oscar nominations and two
wins under her belt, she is considered by many to
be the greatest American actress of our time. And
Zebra agrees. So see if you can match some
of her most memorable screen characters with
their corresponding films. Correct answers will be
revealed in our February issue. Enjoy the game!
