Streep: Prada to Prairie to ABBA

Is there anything Meryl Streep can’t do? Egomaniac in Devil Wears Prada? Done. Great singing pipes in A Prairie Home Companion? Check. Overly protective mother in Prime. Aaand cut! Variety reports the actress will now play the lead in the film adaptation of the popular theatre production featuring the 1970s pop band ABBA. Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson will executive produce alongside the two of ABBA folks. Unfortunately for Streep, she made Mr. Black’s 2006 Worst Dressed List (see related blog post), which is certainly no reflection of her on-screen diversity and talents. In fact, another fine actress, Diane Keaton, did NOT grace Mr. Black’s dubious duds list, but should have, as she’s a regular in US Weekly’s Fashion Police.
