In The Iron Lady, Meryl Streep is cast in the title role and it depicts the life and career of British politician Margaret Thatcher. Streep has managed to be a convincing Thatcher, a very strong character who is difficult to mimic. It is such a change that how Streep performs the role of a real person is difficult to distinguish. A number of awards were presented to her for her role including a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Oscar.
