Streep stars as Margaret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady'

LONDON:The international teaser trailer for ‘The Iron Lady’ offers an early look at Meryl Steep’s already-an-awards-contender turn as former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. 'The Iron Lady' is set to hit U.S. theaters December 16.

Now an official international teaser trailer for the Thatcher biopic has been unveiled, offering an early look at the mannerisms and accent Streep has taken on for the film. Needless to say, her performance looks to be right on the money.

The Iron Lady chronicles Thatcher’s rise to power as a political figure as the newly-elected head of the UK Conservative Party in 1975, and her becoming the country’s Prime Minister four years later. That move was literally unheard of in the traditionally male-dominated world of British politics at the time.
