- Well, I agree that acting is much more than mastering a
- foreign dialect, but nevertheless I certainly feel
- that Meryl Streep is completely different in nearly
- every role she takes on. It certainly amazes me that
- the actress who potrayed Karen Silkwood is the same
- one who was in _A Cry in the Dark_, and that the woman
- I saw in _Postcards from the Edge_ was the same
- as in Albert Brooks' _Defending Your Life_.
-
- Just MHO, of course.
