Meryl Streep to play Margaret Thatcher

Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep is reportedly in talks to play Britain's first female prime minister Margaret Thatcher in a new biopic.
The actress who holds the record for getting the most Academy Award nominations, is in negotiations to reunite with her 'Mamma Mia' director Phyllida Lloyd for the film, said Hollywood Reporter online.
The film set in 1982, will show Thatcher in the run-up to the Falklands War and actor Jim Broadbent has reportedly been lined up to play the former British leader's husband, Denis.
Thatcher led Britain for 11 years between 1979 and 1990.
Her career famously waned prior to the conflict in the Falklands but she received a boost in popularity after the 72-day war, which saw her triumph in the UK's 1983 election.
