London: Veteran Hollywood actress Meryl Streep is proud of her portrayal of former British leader Margaret Thatcher in new movie The Iron Lady, saying it was a privilege to play the role.
The 62-year-old actress tackles the part of the UK’s first female prime minister and even attended sessions at London’s Houses of Parliament earlier this year to help prepare for the shoot, reported Daily Mail online. Streep says the role was gruelling, but her effort was worth it.
“It was a privilege to play her, it really was. It was one of those rare, rare films where I was grateful to be an actor,” she said. (PTI)
