Meryl Streep as Julia Child

Meryl Streep has played every possible role under the sun. Now it may be time for her to make the rounds in celebrity biopics.

She’s going to be playing Julia Child in Nora Ephron’s Julie and Julia, although it seems to focus more on an up and coming young chef on a personal quest to complete every recipe in Child’s book, according to the Variety article. So it’s possible Streep will be pulling a Val Kilmer in True Romance, just showing up as a ghostly spectre driving Amy Adams‘ character into action. That sounds like the kind of gimmick Ephron would use.
