New York Magazine has plotted Streep’s Career from ‘The Deer Hunter’ to ‘Hope Springs’
The fine people at New York Magazine have created the best chart of all time, ever. They've devoted their Matrix entirely to Meryl Streep. They've charted her roles on an X-axis (I paid attention in Algebra) of "Cold" to "Warm" and a Y-axis of "Frivolous" to "Serious." It really is spectacular. Anybody want to place bets on where Julie & Julia falls? Just two notes from the author and an editor:
Max Berlinger: I think that Defending Your Life is placed to close to "Serious."
Alex Panisch: How could they not put in A Cry in the Dark? Did a dingo take her off the list?
