Happy birthday, Meryl Streep!

Categories: Celebrity Birthdays

Meryl_lMeryl Streep turns 58 today, and if you’ve got any doubts about the considerable skill and clout she brings to a project, I’d like to point out that by mere virtue of her involvement, the following haiku is already getting serious Oscar buzz. Won’t you give one of America’s most talented actresses the old 5-7-5 treatment, too?

from silkwood shower
to manchurian she-beast,
she rules. that is all.

    Slezak! You rock! My second goal in life besides winning an Oscar is to have my bday be remembered with a haiku from you!
    Here’s my love for Meryl:
    Death does not become
    The Devil whose company
    Chills even Oscar

    Okay, so I’m not normally so “audience-participation”-y… But, the spirit has moved me this morning. Here goes my Streep haiku:
    Happy birthday, Streep
    I cry while watching your films
    You rule, Meryl Streep!!!
    Slezak, I feel mine captures the Academy’s sentiment a little more? :)

    If great acting talent was included in a “wonders of the world” list,the wonderfully talented Meryl Streep would definitely be on that list….hope she has many more birthdays and that her career prospers for many more years as well

    A knack for accents
    Does not equal great acting
    She’s overrated

    An actress without
    A life of tabloid nonsense?

    accolades from far and deep?
