You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before

Meryl Streep is undoubtedly one of the most talented and acclaimed actresses of our time. With a career spanning over four decades, she has won three Academy Awards and been nominated a record-breaking 21 times. Each time she takes the stage to accept an Oscar, her star power only seems to grow stronger.

The saying goes, "You win an Oscar, it can double the audience that you had before," and this couldn't be more true for Meryl Streep. While she was already a respected and beloved actress before her first Oscar win for "Kramer vs. Kramer" in 1980, the recognition from the Academy only served to solidify her status as a Hollywood icon. Her subsequent wins for "Sophie's Choice" and "The Iron Lady" further cemented her reputation as one of the greatest actresses of all time.

But it's not just the Oscars themselves that have helped to increase Meryl Streep's audience. It's also the roles she chooses to take on and the performances she delivers time and time again. From her heartbreaking portrayal of a Holocaust survivor in "Sophie's Choice" to her fierce and unapologetic turn as Miranda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada," Streep has consistently captivated audiences with her range and depth as an actress.

And let's not forget her ability to seamlessly transition between genres, from drama to comedy to musicals. Whether she's singing and dancing in "Mamma Mia!" or delivering a powerful monologue in "Doubt," Meryl Streep always brings her A-game to every role she tackles.
