* There is no American actress that can compete really with Streep - no American male even actually. In terms of her balance of technical proficiency and imaginative, creativite work across genres, important filmography, co-stars - look at all 5 of the Top 5 Post Brando Best American Actors: DePac, Nicholson, Hoffman, Hackman - and she won an Oscar or Emmy twice opposite those dudes - and got nodded opposite the other 3)  * Close rivals her a bit but not in a deep enough way - she has a work ethic that is astonishing across all mediums - but the filmography isn't nearly as special imo so that hurts her in the way it always hurts big name males (Washington, Burton etc) and females (Lange, Page etc) who lack it ...... and even aside from that - Streep also has 2 knockout, major TV Emmys too so she doesn't give that metric up easily anyway..............and she has a not exactly minor stage footprint too * The only real rivals to Streep to me as all-time GOAT are mostly non-English language actually:
Ullman (but lacks comedy), peak level Rowlands (but weak filmography), Huppert (THE GOAT, imo), Redgrave, Bergman...... peak level Magnani .........Blanchett's working towards that..........it's very rarefied air at that level .......  |
