Despite having already collected two Oscars and 11 other nominations at the time, Streep had not yet mastered the art of asking for more pay.

I was 55 and had just learned, very late, how to act on my own behalf.”

White hair was also her creation, Streep appeared with her frozen hair to sit down with the studio boss. As Director Frankel recalled EW“Meryl channeled Miranda in that meeting, and there was no conversation about hair; they looked into Meryl's eyes and never said a word.”
