At 60, she has let it be known she will not get work done to look younger. She discusses the beauty myth as it relates to Hollywood. She talks about how not being hired for your beauty allows you to portray interesting roles, and all their idiosyncrasies. Last year she drew attention to the gender imbalance inherent in the Oscars.

All this smack talk about the industry, and still she holds the record for the most Oscar nominations and Golden Globe nominations for any actor. I love Meryl Streep.
