Ellen Burstyn
Ellen Burstyn became a true star in the ’70s, getting nominated for Oscars for her performances in The Last Picture Show and The Exorcist, and won an Academy Award for her role as Alice in Martin Scorsese’s film Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. She has acted in so many television shows and in many more movies such as Resurrection and Requiem for a Dream, and most recently in the HBO movie The Tale in 2018.
Meryl Streep
The fabulous Meryl Streep also first started her acting career on Broadway until she landed a role in Deadliest Season in 1977, and soon after that won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her role in Kramer vs Kramer, and today is one of the most decorated stars in Hollywood, having more Oscar nominations than any other actor in the industry! Thank goodness Meryl is still acting and appearing on our screens.
