Here’s Meryl’s full segment at 20/20’s “Before they were Famous” special with many thanks to Nora for the clip!

Many thanks to Tina for passing me a list of upcoming appearances that Meryl has been announced to to in March and April 2010. From March 12 to 14, Meryl will be in New York City, on-stage at the Hudson Theatre, lending her voice to an ensemble reading of the documentary play, “Seven”, as part of the opening night festivities of The Daily Beast’s inaugural Women in the World summit. With confirmed participation from titans from all the power industries, including Madeleine Albright, Katie Couric, Barbara Walters, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan and Julie Taymor, among others, the Women in the World summit promises to be the year’s most impressive celebration of female empowerment. More at their official website. On April 07, 2010, Meryl will present an award to the film, “Yes Madam, Sir” featuring Asia Nobel Prize winner Kiran Bedi and directed by Megan Doneman about Kiran’s story as the first police woman in India, at the 2010 EPIC Awards, created by the White House Project. On April 20, she will be again participate in “Poetry & The Creative Mind” at the Lincoln Center. And May 17 has the previously announced commencement speech at Barnard College.

ABC’s 20/20 will have a special program just in time for the Academy Awards. In “Before they were Famous”, some of this year’s Oscar nominees will be portrayed before they were stars. Watch “Before They Were Famous,” on a special edition of “20/20” Tuesday, March 2 at 10 p.m. ET and read an in-depth article below the cut. 20/20’s website is accompanied by a preview clip and pictures as well.

ABC News recently sat down with two figures from Streep’s past – her best friend in high school and her graduate school drama coach – to talk about the star’s teenage days and her early stage career. So what was she like back then? Pretty much perfect, it turns out. “She was very outgoing. She had a great personality. Extremely funny,” said Susan Castrilli, a friend of Streep’s from Bernards High School in Bernardsville, N.J. “She was – you know, I think the Meryl that you see now is the Meryl that was 14 years old. I don’t think she’s really changed all that much.”

This spring, you can bring home Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin in their new romantic comedy on DVD and Blu-ray. It will be released on April 27. At this time, there are no pricing or special features details .

Meryl didn’t win – nor did she attend – at tonight’s British Academy Awards. The best actress BAFTA went to Carey Mulligan for “An Education”. This has been Meryl’s 13th nomination. She won the BAFTA once in 1982 for “The French Lieutenant’s Woman”. A segment of the Best Actress category has been added to the video archive with many thanks to Nora.

It is barely an exaggeration to say that you can’t have an awards season without Ms. Streep, who has been enmeshed in roughly half of them since 1979, when she was nominated for best supporting actress in “The Deer Hunter.” She won that category the next year, for “Kramer vs. Kramer,” and was nominated in it once again, in 2003, for “Adaptation.” Those three supporting nods are filigree on top of the 13 nominations for best actress, which she won on her second try, in 1983, for “Sophie’s Choice.” More than a quarter-century has passed since then, which may mean that Ms. Streep is overdue for a third statuette. Since her last one Oscars have gone to Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Swank (twice) and many other more- and less-deserving younger performers, while Ms. Streep, 60, has been a constant, patient and routinely passed-over Oscar-night presence. Has she received too much recognition or too little? Trying to quantify an answer is really just trivial showbiz math, pseudoscientific data marshaled in support of a conclusion that is already axiomatic: Meryl Streep is the best screen actress in the world.
