While on Norton’s sofa Streep also revealed that she hates her Oscar-nominated performance in The French Lieutenant's Woman. When asked if there was an acting performance of her's she didn’t rate Steep said: "Oh yes, but, I'm not going to tell you which film.”
"You won't guess because I collected awards for it and it was venerated but I was young and new at it and I wasn't living the role.” Eventually Streep revealed that the movie in question was the 1981 drama, which also starred Jeremy Irons.
Looking back over her decades long career, the 66-year-old said she felt there was a shift in her fame after she starred in box office hits The Devil Wears Prada and Mamma Mia. ”I used to be able to float about between characters and somehow things changed,” Streep said.
