Meryl Streep, widely seen as the greatest actress of her generation, has made plenty of classic movies in her career. The home of classic movies, Turner Classic Movies, is going to recognize her contributions to movie history with a full day dedicated to some of her best performances on Saturday, August 10.
This is part of their annual Summer Under the Stars program that they feature every August. Each day of the month is dedicated to a Hollywood legend, with August 10 seeing 24 hours of Meryl Streep movies starting at 6 am (the Streep marathon continues into the early hours of August 11). While TCM has undoubtedly shown some of Streep's biggest movies before, this is the first time that Streep is a spotlighted individual for Summer Under the Stars in its 30-plus year run.
