After decades of being just a critical darling, Meryl Streep [MSTRE] has suddenly become a big box office attraction over the last couple of years. Even more surprising, she is achieving super stardom at an age when Hollwyood typically considers actresses to be well past their prime. This year, Streep is starring in two films from the two most successful female directors. Julie & Julia [JULIE] directed by Nora Ephron [NEPHR] is already a summer hit, while It's Complicated [CMPLC] directed by Nancy Meyers [NMEYE] looks to be just as popular during this holiday season.
It's Complicated stars Streep as a divorcee who gets back in the groove again when she rekindles a romance with her remarried ex-husband, Alec Baldwin [ABALD], while attracting attention from a funny nice guy, Steve Martin [SMART]. Yep, lfe is good for Meryl, very good.
