I don’t think Meryl looks average. I have always thought she had a beautiful face, her cheek bones, nose, jaw and overall face shape is gorgeous. It’s simple but so strong

What sets Meryl Streep apart and elevates her over these other actresses is she's able to master every genre. She's not a one trick pony. From comedy, horror, drama, musicals. Not many actresses have that range so let them hate. That type of talent doesn't come along often. Meryl is definitely a force of nature. Simply amazingly talented. She deserves every accolade she's given.

Meryl Streep is one of my favourite actresses. She’s not overrated at all, She deserved everything she earned during her career.

Meryl is very much herself and deserves the praise, the other actress on the same level (IMHO) is the fearless, awe-inspiring Jessica Lange. Meryl was taken seriously as an actress from the start, but Jessica knocked the haters out when she revealed the subtlety and depth of what she was capable of. Fun fact: Meryl actually was sent to audition for the role Jessica played in King Kong, and afterward, Dino DiLaurentiis told his son in Italian "She's not beautiful enough", to which Meryl looked him in the eye and said in his language, "I don't like that!" She explained in an interview, "I had had Italian 101 at Vassar, you know?" Love it.

She's a class act. I believe its jealousy.

I always loved her role as Mary Fisher in She-Devil. I thought she played the character well with her being over dramatic, fashionable, and high society preppy. Meryl has always given me Golden Era of Hollywood style with some of the roles she’s played and her sense of fashion.

Meryl is definitely THAT actress. She's versatile and really embodies alllll her characters. I don't know any of her characters that you weren't connected to and I typically watch most of her movies. The moment I see a movie with Meryl, I know it's going to be good good if only because of her display of her character. Lemony Snickett's: A Series of Unfortunate Event is one of my favourites because it really was another level of her range imho

That movie with Goldie Hawn was such a fun movie lol. I watched it twice. Edit: 'Death becomes her' is such a clever title too!!👏🏼I really enjoyed it.

Please. Meryl Streep is all that and worth every penny. The up and down on "The Devil Wears Prada" is everything! And she is beautiful, talented and smart.

Meryl is so good at dramatic comedy like no other. She is definitely an icon.

The guy who had cancer she was there for him. Which makes me love her even more. She has alot of heart and it shines through her work.

Meryl is an example of how you can be a great actor with limited range. Jack Nicholson is another example. I dont think she's overrated. People really soured on her because they realized she played the Hollywood game just like everyone else did. But idk why people get mad at the actors and not the people who set up the system.

First time I’m hearing some people hate Meryl. I loveeeeee Meryl! What’s there to hate? She literally minds her business and puts out good work. Thank you God that I’m so far from the hate to even hear about it. I suggest you all keep y’all’s minds on loving topics so as not to be corrupted with the hate of this world. 🧡❤️

Kathy Bates is equally one of the best actresses. She should have won another Oscar for Dolores Claiborne. Meryl Streep is really in good with the clique of Hollywood. Meryl Streep is a good actress but others are just as great. I have to admit she nails all accents. My favorite film is Silkwood!

I’ve never heard or seen anybody not like Meryl Streep? When was this ever a thing? She has more talent on her pinky than most. She’s a legend.

There's nothing average about Meryl Streep. Her beauty is timeless. She's has an air about her ...like a very expensive and exclusive perfume that you wanna run out and buy and spray all over you. I'd name it "JE NE SAIS QUOI" that unexplainable something.

Silkwood. She was so innocent, simple, and real. I love everything she does. She deserves respect. She is classy.

The reason she is so good. She is flawless and you stop watching Meryl Streep who fades away and you start watching the person she is portraying . Only a handful of actors can truly do that. 💜💜

My Dad had a HUGE crush on her. My Mom didn't mind bc she knew it was merely admiration. And I can also see how she's amusing not just to men but women too. Not to mention, I really like how she portrayed Miranda Priestly. She's very versatile.

Meryl is a chameleon. She had the ability to become the character. Those accents and her persona are believable! That’s acting! She deserves her accolades!

Her role in Sophie’s Choice, absolutely a masterpiece!

She is naturally beautiful in my opinion but it also seems that she makes good decisions about her image. Her features also make her marketable, Hollywood's profits is all about marketing. Her family did great by teaching her confidence early. People underestimate how important that is to developing who you are. She gives off the confident vibe and to many people they either take it as you're arrogant or " she doesn't have anything i don't have". She is just doing what everyone wishes they could, which is making who you are work for you and being ok with that. There are other options people can choose beside resentment and envy to deal with those that are or appear confident in themselves.

I love her! She's earned her status. She may not be the typical "Hollywood pretty" but that's even better making her unique. Her talent is unmatched as well 💛

I think Meryl Streep is a very talented and beautiful lady. She takes her career very seriously and works hard. I feel she deserves the praise. A lovely video! I enjoy how you express information in a fair manner and empathy 🙂.

My faves are her romance roles, Out of Africa, The French Lieutanants Woman, Falling in Love, Bridges of Madison County, all heartfelt palpable love stories. She brought each woman to life in a way that left no doubt as to her feelings for her male counterpart and was vulnerable & strong all at once. A treat to watch ALWAYS.

Honestly how bad could she be her record speaks for itself long marriage and long career. She puts in 💯 plus.

Meryl's beauty is STUNNING...there is nothing average about her looks or her acting. I didn't not know that anyone felt that way about her. I find her beauty to be memorable and one of a kind!!! I've only heard praise, honestly:)

Meryl is a treasure I’m shocked to learn her peers and others hates her. If there’s one actress that always understands the assignment. I love her! I’m a black woman and I always tell my mom who is also black that she favors Meryl it’s uncanny. So naturally I love her even more because of that

As an actress, she acts very well. The roles she plays in the films she act in are very good.

The way she played Julia Child in Julie and Julia just blew my mind. It was like watching Julia herself but in colour. I haven't seen this movie mentioned in the comments but I highly recommend it, I loved every second of it. Especially for Julia Child fans, they will love this movie. I have seen most of her movies, she is excellent at what she does but this movie is the topper for me.

I've never heard one single person hate on Meryl Streep.

Meryl works hard and polishes her craft. I have noticed when you are pretty, confident and focused on doing your best in anything in life, people, especially woman to woman, have a problem with it. Jealousy is an ugly thing! We should be encouraging each other not tearing one another down. Just the other day, an old work friend said I shouldn't think I am any better then her just because I'm wearing heals, dresses, losing weight and wearing make-up now. I have not spoken to this woman in over 10 years! Yes, when I was at uni, I wore plain clothes,only had a few for best dresses and only wore make-up when we went out as I couldn't afford to replace it after using it so often. I was the fat plain jane in the workplace whilst at uni. I see her comment as confirmation that I am on the right path. We as women should be happier for each other instead of competitive, especially when we see a fellow sister lose weight, look and feel better. I like Meryl Steep. My favourite film with her is The Devil's Wear Prada.

She is not ordinary in any way, there is something earthy and mysterious about her at the same time and she can make you feel emotions like; love, sexual chemistry, fear!!! She is not overated, she is one of the best !!!

She’s so timeless & talented!!! Love her ! Her daughters are also very talented & the spitting image of their beautiful mother!!!

They sound Jealous and envious of her. It’s literally not her fault she makes all the right moves and is a phenomenal actress. God has blessed her like he blessed Michael Jordan.

Some people just are that golden child, everything falls into place for them, along with talent, and hard work, she deserves all the credit she gets!💯🌟

She is gorgeous I love her especially in she devil and the devil wears prada remarkable. Karine wonderful video as usual

Hi karine! Can you please do a breakdown on the Egyptian actress Souad Hossni, she was nicknamed the Cinderella of the screen, and her life is very heart breaking.

I’ve always thought if she were European, ppl would talk abt her beauty. I remember in high school watching The Deer Hunter. When she came on screen the man next to me was quiet, then finally said to his friend, “she’s pretty”. He had to take time and think abt it. So, that was my introduction to her and initially she wasn’t considered attractive by the general public

She's definitely not an "average", nor as an actress, nor her beauty, nor her brains. She's a hell of an actress!

I have to agree that "Death Becomes Her" is my favorite movie of hers. It has amazing special effects that were groundbreaking back when it came out and don't look silly today at all. I love that you love this movie, it just helps support my opinion of how great you are!

I always felt she had a unique and beautiful face, different from the usual botoxed nightmares. When I look at her I think "classy". She's one of a few actresses who I consider a master of her craft. Most actors just repeat a few facial expressions and the movie does the work for them. For example, much as I enjoyed the Indiana Jones series, I thought Harrison Ford acted with one expression: varying degrees of constipation.

Because she's focused and respects her work, she gets criticism. At the end of the day, she's mega-talented, smart, has looks, and knows how to play the game. People can learn from her humility and focus and the road she paved for women and others.

I wouldn't say Meryl Streep is overrated, but she isn't the ONLY outstanding actress. Kramer vs Kramer, Doubt, The Devil Wears Prada, Silkwood and The Bridges of Madison County are just a few of my favorites! ❤️

I'm not sure how I feel about her as a person, but she's a stellar actress, and uniquely beautiful. She's always been a class act, and has never used her sexuality in a raunchy way. I don't understand why anyone would blame her for being chosen, being favored. It's her fault director's prefer her, it's not her fault they don't prefer Sarandon...

It’s interesting that Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver, where classmates at Yale Drama School, at Yale Streep was the golden child, adored by her teachers/mentors, hailed by her peers. She stepped out of the hallowed halls of the Ivy League and right onto the stage at Lincoln Center, earning immediate praise from the New York theatre community and propelling her into an awarded acting career. Meanwhile, Sigourney Weaver toiled in the shadows. Unable to win lead roles in school productions (the Yale teachers called her "talentless") which had a huge affect on her confidence. After Yale, Weaver auditioned and auditioned in her native Manhattan, like most young performers taking whatever jobs she could get. It wasn't until Ridley Scott cast her in his inauspicious sci-fi horror film Alien that her career took off. Both women are individually talented and unique. Meryl always seemed to know that. While Sigourney had to grow in confidence to learn that fact.

Meryl Streep is my favorite actress of all time! No one and I mean no one does it better! I first became a fan when she acted in Kramer vs Kramer and Sophie’s Choice. If you’ve ever seen those movies, then you will know. Don’t talk about my Meryl! Much respect to her! ❤️

It's about the Detail in her facial Expressions and her body movements; Always accurated and Natural at the Same time ... Just flawless And she can read easily her role, performing Always in a diffèrent Way She also seems to captured the vision of the director

My favorite Hollywood story is the fact that Meryl Streep walked around being called 'the goat' and she humbly accepted it and went along with it because she thought they were referring to her as an old goat because she's old. Jennifer Lawrence had to explain that it meant Greatest Of All Time. Even if I didn't like her, I can never hate someone who's that quirky 😂.

I think she is a great actress ! According to me one of her best movies she has made is The Devil wears Prada it was a outstanding and iconic perfomance 😊👍

She’s not overrated she earned her place and worked hard to get to where she is now. People get jealous from the person who works and studies harder than they do because they could get insecure about that. But she definitely earned it.

Meryl may not have known about Weinstein but she knows about Roman Polanski and still defends him til this very day.

I saw the title and made a :o because I've never heard anyone say Meryl is hated in any aspect lol! She's really been my childhood since Devil Wears Prada and I love her iconic roles ever since! Thanks for the video! 🥰

She aged gracefully. I hope to age as wonderful as she did❤️

Meryl Streep is an amazing actress. She’s actually my fav. Anything she’s in I’ll give it a chance bc of her body of work. If anyone is jealous, I understand why

It’s very hard for an actor to get lost into their roles but Meryl has mastered that so well which is what makes her an incredible one. I mean she’s considered a legend

She has serious queen essence

DEATH BECOMES HER IS ONE OF THEE BEST MOVIES MADE!!! I just said yesterday that Meryl Streep is my favorite Actress...They big mad because she is EXCELLENT AT HER CRAFT...Many Actress always play themselves, role after role...Ms. Streep is no one trick pony and the girls can't take it!!!🤣🤣🤣✌️

I had loved her for many many years until I heard her on an Oscar show how Roman Polanski wasn’t the bad guy about the rape of a 13 year old girl!!! That just made me look at all theses actors and know there are things we don’t know about them and we always put them up on pedestals !!!

c.

She also gave Roman Polanski a passionate and long standing ovation and continues to praise him AFTER learning that he r@ped little girls!! She’s and interesting one is put up there with oprah

I love Meryl Streep, her face card never ever declines

Yes! I'm so excited for this one. The intro movie clip is a bonus!

She's anything but average, she's tall, has a gorgeous figure, excuisite, exotic face, and is extremely charming. Her work ethic is flawless. My favourite roles of hers are in The Bridges of Madison County and Adaptation. Death Becomes Her is an amazing film! I think people are envious of her and her 'perfect' life, and it's to be expected because the woman really does seem to have it all. The only thing that is bothersome/questionable from my point of view is her relationship with HW and whether or not she knew of his extracurricular activities.

Queen! Hope you enjoyed your birthday sis ❤️

She’s one of the best versatile actresses. Sophie’s Choice and Death becomes her are her best movies.🌹

Too stoked to watch this vid 😍😍😍

Your channel Is AMAZING!!! I just love you Karine. Meryl Streep IS wonderful. She has such natural beauty. Thanks.

Sophie's Choice. Wow. She can transform herself into any character she takes on. This makes her talent an absolute gift for those who witness this transformation.

She’s Extremely Beautiful And Talented 💐👑

Many actors just play variations of themselves. She truly is versatile and deserves all the accolades.

People hate Meryl? Didn't know that. She is my favorite actress next to Angela Bassett

I think its sad that other actors criticised her for having a good upbringing/supportive parents etc. Yes it set up the foundations for her success but she didn't choose who she was born to. I had an ugly upbringing but love to hear about other people who had stable upbringings, had good educations etc just as much as I love to hear rags to riches stories and the like. It's cruel to criticise or take away from other people's success stories just because you had it harder or tougher. Once you remove envy and comparison from your life, life becomes way more enjoyable

your videos help me so much. they're the only thing that helps when I get anxiety! your voice is so soothing and I love the content.

Thanks you Queen for showcasing Meryl. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER. She is just Stunning n Powerful like Thatcher

Woohoo! Meryl would be a fun breakdown🌺🦋

hope you had a great birthday karine ❤ can you do a jenni rivera breakdown, her death is so sad i remember crying when i found out.

I’ve always admired her. Thanks😊

❤️this channel

She is brilliant, she can play anything no one has came after her, that can match her talent so yeah she can be arrogant as wants she’s earned it 👍🥰❤️

Meryl is an incredibly natural beauty with SO many amazing performances! People are petty and jealous re her! Just appreciate this gifted woman!

KARINIE YOU ARE THE BEST LOVE IT!

Thank you so much for this video she is such a fantastic actress and deserves some more attention. 🤗💖👍💖💖💖

Hi Karine, lovely breakdown as always! I’m not sure why I am feeling the need to express my opinions on Meryl Streep, because I consider no celebrity or human being “perfect” (we’re all flawed and have certain advantages and disadvantages in life), but there’s always so much talk about her career and whether she’s overrated or given everything on a silver platter due to her perfect upbringing; which is appealing to the industry and the audiences they deliver to. But here I am, speaking on a textbook privileged white woman with an “ideal” life story, career, and personal life - how basic (just kidding)! Before I start, let it be known that I believe that Meryl is crazy talented and a celebrity that I don’t have major concerns about when it comes to ethics - team strong and hardworking women here! I love that you included how she doesn’t have a favorite director, color, or food. She enjoys everything and I think that as a society we are so used to being able to box and categorize people in our minds. So the fact that everyone isn’t able to easily predict her patterns can cause confusion and bring forward the hate. The only thing we can confirm about her is that if she’s starring in something, she’ll likely be nominated for a big award. Public perception - and frankly male perceptions within the industry: I feel like she gets hate for not sticking to just serious/Oscar-worthy roles, or people think she’s stuck up for not doing more mainstream/cater to the masses types of projects - she does a good mix (The Devil Wears Prada & Mamma Mia, for example). It all comes back to the fact that she enjoys a little bit of everything and sees value in all types of opportunities professionally. She’s well-rounded and no one can take that away from her. As for her work ethic - no one should criticize a hard worker. We don’t know how much value the said person’s efforts and time bring to their inner peace and help to drive them. You mentioned the toll her workload and stress about about making it took on her, which just presents another reason as to why she is such a perfectionist and in love with her job. I think that she genuinely loves her craft and finds fulfillment in doing her absolute best - even her “worst” performances are noteworthy. As for her background…haters gonna hate. Sure, a backstory that involves some level of trauma and hardships is interesting to learn about, but I think that it is wonderful that her parents were supportive. They raised a hardworking child who used her advantages to the fullest potential, rather than taking it easy. Not every performer or creator needs to be a “tortured artist” or a “broken soul” - how would the industry function with that much collective trauma? A stable upbringing and life path is uncommon in the industry - refreshing really. Any group and background should be present in any and all industries. She obviously hasn’t needed sad or bad memories to tap into her inner actress, as you mentioned that acting always came naturally to her - but I respect the efforts she put into perfecting the hell out of her passion (which she’s still doing in my opinion). Regarding Sharon Stone’s comment about her appearance, I also agree that it isn’t necessarily an insult. I do feel that Meryl gives off a relatable energy - both mentally and physically. It aids in how her performances impact an audience. They may see themselves represented and that is a beautiful thing - another added layer to her art. Also, I think that she is beautiful and love the approach she has taken to aging gracefully. She just looks like a happy, content, and confident version of her younger self. I will assume that other actresses get jealous and hurt by many roles being offered to her first, but Meryl must be respectful and kind to her peers, which adds to why they go to her earlier than others. All these legends/veterans of the industry are talented, but talent alone doesn’t guarantee the first offer for a role - at least that’s what I think. The package as a whole comes off as ideal for any producer/director. All these amazing actresses deserve all the accolades and equal pay to their male counterparts - I respect that Meryl stood up to getting paid the right amount for her role as Miranda Priestly, as you mentioned in the video. She has paved the way for other actresses. Meryl is the first actress that I saw as the real deal growing up, but I get the same energy from Viola Davis, for example. She is also someone who is mega talented, she voices her love for her craft, and stands up for what’s right - such as being treated as equals to men and other women in the industry and being confident in knowing your worth. Both powerhouses, both coming from completely different backgrounds, and both are two of the strongest performers I have ever witnessed. I hope the two actresses are able to work together again, because that would be a treat! Lastly, I appreciate that she isn’t extra. She’s not trying to break the Internet. She isn’t doing the most on the red carpet. When she’s at an awards show, she is genuinely happy to be present and actually paying attention, with her glasses on. Sure, she’s one of the most successful actors in the industry, but it is refreshing to not always be bombarded by drama, cancel culture, scandals, etc. from her end. She has made smart decisions both professionally and personally - yes, her and her husband are definitely couple goals! She is a true Thespian, a hardworking woman, a loving wife and mother, and the ideal actor to look up to for any aspiring artist, due to how she balances everything and still enjoys her chosen career. Meryl Streep is the GOAT and the Michael Jordan of actresses in Hollywood. P.S. Meryl’s career > Dustin’s ! ! ! I hate men sometimes…most of the time…

She is an OK actress. I don’t understand the overhype. How can anyone like her after the Winestein comment. Hypocrite who promotes pe do phi lia

Sophie's Choice was stunning and unforgettable. The story was so sad, I don't think I could rewatch that film.

Great video!!! I agree with you.

After Sophie's choice, there's simply no way to deny her acting talent.

Sharon stone really shaded Meryl in an interview last year. she said “I like the way you phrase that, that I finally got to work with Meryl Streep,” Stone said. “You didn’t say, ‘Meryl finally got to work with Sharon Stone.’ Or we finally got to work together…Because that’s the way her life went, she got built up to be, ‘Everyone wants to work with Meryl.’ I wonder if she likes that?” “The way you structured the question is very much the answer to the question. The business was set up that we should all envy and admire Meryl because only Meryl got to be the good one. And everyone should compete against Meryl. I think Meryl is an amazingly wonderful woman and actress. But in my opinion, quite frankly, there are other actresses equally as talented as Meryl Streep. The whole Meryl Streep iconography is part of what Hollywood does to women.” “Viola Davis is every bit the actress Meryl Streep is. Emma Thompson. Judy Davis. Olivia Colman. Kate Winslet, for fuck’s sake. But you say Meryl and everybody falls on the floor,” Stone added. “I’m a much better villain than Meryl, and I’m sure she’d say so. Meryl was not gonna be good in ‘Basic Instinct’ or in ‘Casino.’ I would be better. And I know it. And she knows it. there is some truth but also some jealousy in her statements.

I love this video ❤

Love Meryl Streep! Shows how hard work and dedication pays off! I also think she is beautiful and has a unique beauty that’s not cookie cutter neither exotic.

She's a great actress....she can morph I to any role...old you g ugly pretty......and she's humble

She's so iconic 💖

I love these videos. You are really great for doing these THANK YOUUU

That thumbnail of Meryl Streep is enough to make me click Quick! Beautiful😍

I love Meryl and I think she is beautiful in comparison to other people she just has a different look Most women go after the same look , she another kind of beauty :)

Hi @Karine Alourde First off I'm a huge fan from the UK. I watch you're breakdown vids religiously literally! and I love how in-depth you go when breaking down these iconic stars. I do have two request one of them is if you could do a breakdown of the actress and activist rose mcgowan. My personal opinion I think she is such an icon I grew up watching her on charmed with my big sis 🥰, scream and jawbreaker and I feel she deserves a breakdown. And the other is uma thurman! again an icon and I grew up watching her my first time seeing uma was her role as poison ivy in the movie batam and Robin and I loved her ever since.

Meryl Streep is my cousin 5 times removed on my mother's side. My mother's great great grandmother was the sister of hers. My family found this out when my uncle visited Ireland after an ancestory search (we're Scottish of Irish decent) and met distant relatives. Meryl had previously done her own search and met her those same distant cousins in Ireland. I was elated to find this out. When I told my husband he shrugged and said ' So that's where all the drama comes from!' LOL I don't normally tell folk as they enevitably don't belive it.

Love your work. Your views for me are always balanced.
