5.0 out of 5 stars Good info for the Streep fan, August 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Meryl Streep Story (Paperback)

I bought an out-of-print edition of this book and was pleasantly pleased by the amount of information contained. Unlike most people, I came to Meryl Streep very late in her career and so wasn't around to read all the press that surrounded her in the late 70s and early 80s. This book is very generous in relaying information that Meryl gave in interviews, as well as what other actors and critics say about her (Pauline Kael should get a life, or a new prescription for her eyeglasses). There were tons of pictures as well. Clearly, a more interesting and complex ARTIST than the fashion-conscious eye-candy that passes for serious actresses these days.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meryl's early career., March 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Meryl Streep Story (Paperback)

This book written in 1983 is outdated, but is still interesting to the Streep fan. I enjoyed the several pages of pictures and learning a bit more about her early life. The book could be more detailed-it was only about 123 pages long. If you are looking to complete a Meryl Streep collection then this is a must have.
