An entertaining and affectionate portrait of legendary actress Meryl Streep's work, exploring her trailblazing roles in film, her feminist activism, and the indelible mark she's left on pop culture.Meryl Streep is the most celebrated actress of our time. She's a chameleon who disappears fully into each character she plays. She never tackles the same role twice. Instead, she leverages her rarified platform to channel a range of tough, complicated women--Margaret Thatcher, Karen Silkwood, the Anna Wintour avatar Miranda Priestly--rather than limit herself to marginal roles for which other actresses must settle: Supportive Wife. Supportive Mother. Supportive Yet Utterly Disposable Love Interest to the Leading Man. Streep will have none of that.
The once-awkward, frizzy-haired suburban teen blossomed into a rising ing nue who quickly made a name on stage at Vassar College and the Yale School of Drama, where she pursued prestigious theater degrees. She came of age during the women's movement of the Sixties and Seventies, and has worn her activism on her sleeve even when it was unfashionable. When she reached 40, the age when many leading ladies in Hollywood fully transition to those "supportive" roles, Streep plunged forward, taking her pick of parts that interested her and winning a pile of awards along the way. She's broken records with 16 Oscar nominations, winning Best Actress twice for Sophie's Choice and The Iron Lady and Best Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer. Meanwhile, she remained an unlikely box-office draw, her clout even managing to grow with age: The Devil Wears Prada, starring Streep as a brilliant and sadistic magazine editrix, scored $125 million worldwide. Her next film, Mary Poppins Returns, with Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel Miranda, is poised for bigger success. Queen Meryl will pay tribute to the fearless icon, documenting all of her accents, Oscars, highs, lows, friendships, and feuds. It will also explore her "off-brand" forays into action-adventure (The River Wild) and musicals (Mamma Mia ), and how she managed to do a lot with a little, and sneak her feminism into each character. In the spirit of Notorious RBG and The Tao of Bill Murray, two bestsellers as nontraditional as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Bill Murray, Queen Meryl will transmit joy in homage to its allegedly serious subject.

Stylish, packable warmth layer I'm using for travel the fits and looks great!
Size: Large, Color: Gray, Size: Large, Color: Gray
I like the COOFANDY brand a lot for good looking clothes, that fit me correctly (Large size, for me 180lbs 6'0", athletic build), all at a reasonable price.
This Jacket fits me great and looks great, and it's stylish enough that I'll feel comfortable going to museums and restaraunts, etc while we're away in Europe this fall. I bought the gray which looked correct vs images on the web, and a good color in my opinion. My pictures were done in different lighting because of needing to be in front of the mirror, but color is accurate on web. I like having the hood, which will be good for outdoor travel / walking in sometimes rainy weather, and hood looks good down (not too bulky). Zippers seem good quality, and I like zippered pockets, plus there's internal pockets (not zippered) if you desire, and an included stash back for compact packing into my day pack. Sleeve cuffs and right size and nice. Note, that there is no bottom waistline drawstring adjustment, but I don't need such because it fits me great and I wanted something more city and less outdoorsy. Really like this jacket for my need, outer layer for city type travel while staying warm and looking good.
