So when this year’s Academy Award host, Seth MacFarlane, was to announce the next actress to bring the statue for Best Leading Actor in the event last February, he joked, “our next actress doesn’t need to be introduced.” She was addressing Meryl Streep, whom he believed didn’t need to be introduced because many people have already known her well.
Meryl was born on 22 June 1949 in Summit, New Jersey. Her first performance on stage was in “The Playboy of Seville” in 1971, and she continued acting for a TV movie “The Deadliest Season” and “Julia”. Since then, she was respected for good acting. She had many recognizitons, alongside with her many movies including “Kramer vs. Kramer”, “Sophie’s Choice”, and “The Iron Lady”, from which she gain three collective Oscars for Best Actress, out of 17 nominations she received until now. Not to mention, eight Golden Globe, two Emmy, one Cannes Film Festival Award, and so on. She currently is filming a drama, “August: Osage County”, released this year.
Meryl Streep and Plastic Surgery
But, out of her outrageous success in acting, she is surprisingly unlikable when it comes to plastic surgery. Different from any other female celebrities, Meryl Streep is one of the few who obviously said no for any kinds of cosmetic or celebrity plastic surgery.Meryl is now more than 60 years old and in her age, some may have thought that at least, she has undergone a facelift to keep up her good face.
In 2008, media noted how Meryl spoke out against plastic surgeries among Hollywood celebrities, both male and female, giving a reason that to look young just for having specific types of roles by undergoing such surgeries were plain wrong. She knew that it was a very critical speak-out, but she thought that it’s right. “The good thing about getting older is that when they do cast you it’s often something interesting, you’re no longer asked to be the beautiful leading lady,” she commented. “When actors aren’t hired just for their matinee looks they are given the chance to play roles that examine all the idiosyncrasies people have.”
Meryl knew very clearly that to be always young in so old an age is impossible, and she refused to hold onto it just by doing practical things like surgeries, and advising it is the way everybody celebrates their life. So, as she has clearly spoken out against plastic surgery, people would literally understand that she has also denied having such surgeries. Not even a facelift, maybe.
Meryl has also confirmed negatively of her having any plastic surgery procedures, but people kept thinking that she is way too nice for someone in her 60s. What people saw is that she barely has any wrinkles on her facek, she has a taut neck, and she got a youthful eye. Could we accuse her having “silent” plastic surgery?
Perhaps, although Meryl was so opposed to any kinds of plastic surgery, she got another kind of treatments beside plastic surgery. Like facial chemical peeling or Botox injection, maybe? Non-surgical necklift and facelift, or possible eyelid surgery, maybe? This is pure an accusion, but if she did, she might have had a very professional plastic surgeon to make it less noticable.
In 2008, Meryl Streep criticized Hollywood celebrities of both sexes for going under the knife, arguing that there are indeed advantages to growing older as different types of roles are offered.
However, many people agree with her opinion. We agree that 50-year-old woman won’t be seen like 20-year-old girl whatever plastic surgeries she took, and that’s why in a way, getting older is really a good way to celebrate life. Whether Meryl has or has not undergone any plastic surgeries, she certainly is a good example of getting old gracefully and gratefully.
