Meryl Streep looks easy breezy and flowy as the latest cover woman for Vogue magazines January 2012 issue. P hotographed by Annie Liebovitz, The star of thee upcoming film "The Iron Lady" had the following to spill with the iconic fashion magazine...
On playing Margaret Thatcher... “With any character I play, where she is me is where I meet her. It’s very easy to set people at arm’s length and judge them. Yes, you can judge the policies and the actions and the shortcomings - but to live inside that body is another thing entirely. And it’s humbling on a certain level and infuriating, just like it is to live in your own body. Because you recognize your own failings, and I have no doubt that she recognized hers.”
On feeling strongly about the film... “Because the material embedded in it is a lot of what I’ve been thinking about. The themes in the film, which I don’t feel like underlining, have interested me for a while. And you never see these subjects covered in films normally, and so that was very thrilling.”
On Thatcher's reputation..."I knew “the outlines” of the rage that people had about Thatcher. In this country, it was blended with anti-Reaganism but there was a special venom reserved for her, I felt, because she was a woman."
Her political view of where Thatcher stood...."I don’t know about not promoting women. Here’s what really surprised me: From the moment the day started until it was three, four in the morning, she just never, ever stopped, and she worked so hard and relentlessly to be able to be in that position where what she said was the course the nation took. It was really extraordinary, her tirelessness, sheer stamina. When I say that, I really mean it, because I work hard, I know what working hard is and I know what staying up late is, and you can do it for a certain time. But to do it for eleven years? And out of power, to keep on with it, into the sunset? Superhuman."
Carrying a big laugh bubbling under her serene expression, it finally bursts out...“I was joking with the ladies earlier,” she said (when they were having their picture taken). “And I told them I was probably the oldest person ever to be on the cover of Vogue.”
