This image of Meryl Streep was taken in Hobart when the actress was on a promotional tour for the Australian-made movie Evil Angels. (Photo, 1988.)
Evil Angels told the story of Lindy Chamberlain, who was at the heart of one of Australia's most talked about murder trials.
Reportedly, it 'was one of the most expensive and elaborate ever shot in Australia, with 350 speaking cast and 4,000 extras'.
Actress, writer and producer Meryl Streep has been nominated for the Academy Awards an impressive 21 times — winning three times: twice for Best Actress and once for Best Supporting Actress.
