“Hey Laaaaaaaadyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.” Yes, 17-time nominated, and (only, sigh…) three time Oscar Winner Meryl Streep, brings her award-winning performance in the role of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. This film reminds me of the bumper sticker I often see that says, “Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History.”
