Overlooked: Laura Dern, Wild at Heart Mia Farrow, Alice Whoopi Goldberg, The Long Walk Home Michelle Pfeiffer, The Russia House Winona Ryder, Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael Sissy Spacek, The Long Walk Home This performance, which won her Best Lead Actress honors from the New York Film Critics Circle, marked Woodward's fourth (and to date, final) Oscar nomination. While Walter is emotionally distant and squarely focused on his law practice, India is a warmer, more optimistic presence, yet can't establish any sort of independence from her husband, nor fully relate to her children, who have grown wary of their parents' traditional values. India Bridge, a wife and mother who, alongside husband Walter (Paul Newman), struggles to keep up with the changing times in 1940s-era Kansas City. The 1990 Oscar nominees in Best Lead Actress were. Reviews were warm for both Streep and co-star Shirley MacLaine and the picture just did fine at the box office, debuting in the top slot.Īmazingly, however, it would take five years post- Postcards for Streep to make her 10th appearance at the Oscars. In September of 1990, Postcards hit theaters and - whew - was not a catastrophe. Postcards from the Edge would reunite Streep with director Mike Nichols (fresh off his success on Working Girl), with Carrie Fisher adapting the screenplay from her best-selling book (not unlike Nora Ephron's page-to-screen adaptation of her Heartburn).
Her follow-up to She-Devil had shades of Heartburn on paper. Portraying flamboyant romantic novelist Mary Fisher, opposite Roseanne Barr of all people, Streep herself garnered positive notices but the picture flopped even harder than Heartburn, spending one measly week in the box office top 10. She-Devil, released in '89, found Streep in the broadest, loosest form of her career. So, it was about damn time that Streep at last scored a leading role in a successful comedy. Thirteen of these were dramas, with the exceptions being Manhattan (in which Streep had a small supporting role) and Heartburn (a critical and financial failure for the many A-listers involved). By 1989, Meryl Streep had graced the silver screen in 15 motion pictures.
