First Look: Meryl Streep As Margaret Thatcher

The First Promo Photo From 'The Iron Lady'

It looks like legendary actress Meryl Streep is ready to collect a few new award trophies for acting because today we get our first look at her in full make-up as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the upcoming biopic The Iron Lady based on the famed politician?s life. As you recall, in recent years Streep previously transformed herself into an Anna Wintour-like character for The Devil Wears Prada and almost completely into Julia Child for the film Julie & Julia. Now, Meryl will become the Iron Lady herself.

The very first image of Meryl Streep as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady has been released. The film tells the compelling story of Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman. ?The prospect of exploring the swathe cut through history by this remarkable woman is a daunting and exciting challenge. I am trying to approach the role with as much zeal, fervour and attention to detail as the real Lady Thatcher possesses ? I can only hope my stamina will begin to approach her own!? Meryl Streep said. The Iron Lady stars Meryl Streep as Lady Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher. Their young selves are played by Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd. The rest of the cast of family and friends, politicians and advisers, is made up of the very best of British acting talent, including: Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell, Susan Brown, Roger Allam, Anthony Head, Julian Wadham, Pip Torrens, Nick Dunning, Richard E Grant, David Westhead, Angus Wright and John Sessions. Shooting began on location in the UK on 31st January 2011

Meryl looks amazing! Without question, Meryl Streep is one of the finest actors alive today ? but when she transforms herself into a character, she really becomes the character:

Her Julia Child was nothing short of uncanny. It?s clear Streep has the Thatcher look down ? I cannot wait to see this film. What do y?all think of Meryl Streep?s new look as Margaret Thatcher?
