Who is the best Hollywood actress of all time?
When people think of great drama, tragedy and comedy actresses in Hollywood, there is one name that always comes to mind: Meryl Streep.
At the age of 67, she is still going strong with a series of award-winning performances fresh in the public's minds. She has been nominated for 18 Academy Awards and won three, making her one of only 12 performers to have achieved the 'Triple Crown of Acting'. In 2010, she won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role on "Damages", a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Series, Miniseries or Television Film for her appearance on "Pride & Prejudice" and SAG Award as part of the "30 Rock" cast.
Streep has portrayed a wide variety of roles, with many shared traits including stubbornness, icy coolness and unapologetic frankness. She is also noted for her ability to completely transform herself for each role, dropping weight drastically or gaining it as necessary.
Of course there are other actresses who could lay claim to the title of best Hollywood actress ever but Streep's career spans over 30 years and she shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. This combined with performances that have touched millions worldwide allows us to say without hesitation that Meryl Streep is the best Hollywood actress of all time!
