Becoming Meryl Streep

In 1975, Meryl Streep — like dozens of other 
aspiring actors of the time — was finding her place in the New York theater scene.

She rode her bike everywhere, kept a diary, napped before performances and stayed out late, “talking about acting with actors in actors’ bars.” Yet Meryl stood apart from her peers. In her first season in New York, she won attention-getting parts in back-to-back Broadway plays, a Tony Award nomination and two roles in Shakespeare in the Park productions. Author Michael Schulman explores her beginnings as a young woman of the 1970s grappling with love, feminism and her astonishing talent.
