Streep graced several school productions (she took an early bow as Daisy Mae in Lil' Abner) , earned decent grades, and became popular among fellow students (she joined the cheerleaders and won the title of homecoming queen). ..Upon high school graduation, Streep studied drama at Vassar, Dartmouth, and Yale, where she appeared in thirty to forty productions with the Yale Repertory Theater....
With a five-star education... and years of collegiate stage work under her belt, Streep headed for the New York footlights and launched her off-Broadway career...

Sophie's Choice:
Cast: Meryl Streep, Peter MacNicol, Kevin Kline, Rita Karin, Stephen D. Newman, Günther Maria Halmer, Melanie Pianka..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The story starts simply enough. Stingo, a young writer, moves into the same boarding house as Sophie, a Czech immigrant, and her Jewish husband Nathan. The trio quickly becomes inseparable, as Nathan and Sophie entrance the naive young man with their sophisticated and entertaining ways. What he doesn't realize is the dark secrets and overriding obsessions that are lurking underneath the surface of their supposedly happy marriage. After witnessing a few of Nathan's cruel and seemingly unjustified outbursts, he begins to fall even more deeply in love with the vulnerable Sophie. To make him understand why Nathan treats her the way he does, she tells him the story of how she survived the Nazis. It's an extraordinary and entrancing story that will break your heart, but also shows a dark side to Sophie. She's stronger than she appears. Though not her fault, she can never forgive herself for the devastating choices she had to make to save her life. She loves a brutal man because she believes it is all she deserves and will ultimately bring about her salvation.........
""""""""""""""""

This is not an easy film to watch, mainly because Streep makes you feel her pain without ever uttering a word about it... She speaks in broken English ..with an accent most actors only dream of attaining... If I didn't know better, I'd have sworn English was not her first language... An accent can make or break a performance and this one pushes her right over the top of genius... She looked and acted so differently then I had ever seen her before, I almost couldn't believe it was her. In the hands of a lesser actress, SOPHIE'S would have been a hokey melodrama..... No other actress had a chance in hell of beating her for the Oscar that year. Much like she does with Francesca in BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, she takes a complicated woman, who makes morally dubious decisions, and creates a likable heroine you just want to see find happiness... She doesn't do it alone.... Her brilliance helps her two neophyte co-stars reach the heights of their talent.... This is one of Kline's most brilliant performances... You want to hate him, but he's just as much a victim of circumstances as Sophie....

As the Holocaust-haunted title character, in "Sophie's Choice "(1982) she won a Best Actress Oscar....

Ritchie Valens and sure I noticed the film whilst it got here out. I notion the film used to be very well however I did not fairly recognise who Ritchie Valens used to be (I used to be born within the past due 50's) however I had heard approximately the aircraft crash with him, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper (??)
