Meryl Streep is regarded by many as the greatest actress of all time, and those wanting to see a photographic record of her 30-plus year career won't be disappointed by the upcoming Vanity Fair US. Meryl graces the cover of the January issue (probably also to promote her new movie IT'S COMPLICATED with Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin), which features photos taken by Brigitte Lacombe dating back to 1979. Despite the glamorous shots, Meryl, who recently turned 60, told VF she attributes some of her success to not caring about how attractive she is. "I can't remember the last time I really worried about being appealing," she said. The, article also talks about how, at age 60, Meryl Streep has become the industry’s “new box-office queen.” The proof is definately in the pudding - for example, her 2008 musical Mamma Mia! has grossed $601(US) worldwide, despite some cringe-worthy reviews (for the movie, not its much-lauded heroine) and The Devil Wears Prada, also from 2008, in which Meryl played a demanding fashion-magazine editor from hell, has raked in $324 million around the world. Not forgetting Julie & Julia, released earlier this year, has earned $121 million and counting.
