I mean, I love acting and am pretty good already. But I'm wondering if good dancing skills and athleticism are required to be, let's say, an Academy Award-winner? I have no coordination or speed. I'm not very graceful, either. On the contrary, I'm sort of a klutz. Would I be likely to be the next Meryl Streep? Is that possible?

'Are you kidding? What would make you think so?
It is unlikely that you will be the next Meryl Streep, but you might make an actress, Do you have your parents' backing for you to be an actress? Are you involved in acting in school? are you at least 14? If so read my profile and let me know at my aol address and i will help you for free. That's what I do.

Dancing and singing are only necessary if you want to work in a musical.
Athletic skills? Well, if the role calls for a lot of it...otherwise, that's what stunt people are for.
I don't think Meryl Streep is known for dancing, or a four-minute mile. I could be wrong. That happens occasionally.

if that were true, Kathy Bates did not get the memo.
