She
has
been
one
of
the
best
American
actresses
who
is
more
like
a
legend.Everyone
loves
Meryl
Streep.
From
Barack
Obama
to
Julia
Roberts,
every
star
feels
that
Meryl
is
an
epitome
of
perfection.
However,
Meryl
Streep
has
revealed
that
she
lost
a
role
in
the
'King
Kong'
movie
because
the
producer
thought
she
was
ugly.
The
65-year-old
actress,
who
is
one
of
the
most
awarded
star
in
Hollywood
with
18
Academy
and
29
Golden
Globes
nominations
to
her
credit,
said
told
Graham
Norton
on
his
show
that
it
was
sobering
to
be
dismissed
like
that.
Streep
was
asked
to
audition
for
the
film
by
producer
Dino
De
Laurentis'
son
after
he
saw
her
in
a
play.
As
the
actress
stood
before
the
two
men,
Laurentis
blurted
out
in
Italian,
'Why
do
you
bring
me
this
ugly
thing?'.
He
was
not
aware
that
Streep
knew
Italian.
Recalling
that
embarrassing
audition
for
King
Kong,
Meryl
Streep
said
Graham
Norton
that
it
was
"Very
sobering
as
a
young
girl."
"I'm
sorry
I'm
not
beautiful
enough
to
be
in
'King
Kong'!,"
Streep
told
Laurentis
after
his
remark.
Jessica
Lange
was
eventually
cast
to
play
Dwan
in
the
1976
film.
Meryl
also
spoke
about
Hollywood
opinion
about
actresses
above
40
while
talking
about
her
role
of
a
witch
in
the
musical
'Into
The
Woods'.
"This
is
my
first
witch.
When
I
turned
40
I
was
offered
three
witches
in
one
year.
And
it
sent
me
a
signal
about
how
Hollywood
felt
about
people
turning
40
and
I
felt
bad,
it
put
my
back
up
and
I
didn't
want
to
play
them.
Now
I
am
more
age
appropriate!,' Streep
said.
Into
The
Woods
won
Meryl
a
Golden
Globe
nomination
for
Best
Supporting
Actress
in
a
Musical
or
Comedy,
but
was
beaten
by
Boyhood's
Patricia
Arquette.
On
the
GrahamNorton
Show,
Meryl
also
revealed
that
she
was
lactating
when
she
won
her
first
Golden
Globe!
Back
in
1980,
Streep
said
the
ceremony
was
a
"little
afternoon
event
recorded
on
CCTV
for
the
LA
County
area
[in
the
US]
only," which
started
at
lunchtime
and
went
on
"forever".
"I
was
there
for
Kramer
vs.
Kramer
just
after
giving
birth
to
my
first
child.
In
those
days
they
didn't
lend
dresses
and
I
didn't
have
any
money
to
buy
something
so
I
wore
my
wedding
dress," she
explained.
"It
was
a
perfectly
nice
white
silk
dress,
but
the
luncheon
went
on
and
I
was
breastfeeding
and
two
o'clock
came,
three
o'clock
came,
and
boom!
I
started
to
lactate.
In
a
white
silk
dress.
It
was
not
good
and
I
sat
with
my
arms
crossed
over
my
chest,
they
called
my
name
and
I
walked
to
the
stage
with
my
arms
crossed
and
accepted
the
award
one-handed,
while
still
covering
my
breasts.
They
must
have
thought
I
was
so
odd.
It
was
so
embarrassing.
But
only
to
LA
County
-
no
one
else
saw,"
Meryl
Streep
recalled.
