Meryl Streep at Work

on BBC Two England

"I can't get into the scene if I know I'm being watched in a different way. To me the work that is being done is the most important thing, not how it's publicised."
Meryl Streep is the most sought-after actress in films today. She enjoys critical acclaim - winning Oscars for Kramer vs Kramer and Sophie's Choice - and box-office success. The publicity stardom brings mystifies and irritates her, as Iain Johnstone discovered when he joined Meryl and co-stars Charles Dance, Tracey Ullman, Sting and John Gielgud on location for
Plenty. Miss Streep discusses her latest role, and reveals why playing Englishwoman Susan Traherne is the toughest challenge she's faced as a film actress.
