Meryl's first film debut!

The very first Meryl Streep movie I could find was Julia, filmed in 1977.  Apparently it won all kinds of awards...
Julia won Academy Awards for:


    * Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Jason Robards);

    * Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Vanessa Redgrave);

    * Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium (Alvin Sargent)


It was nominated for an Academy Award for:


    * Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Maximilian Schell);

    * Best Actress in a Leading Role (Jane Fonda);

    * Best Cinematography;

    * Best Costume Design;

    * Best Director;

    * Best Film Editing;

    * Best Music, Original Score;

    * Best Picture.


It also won the BAFTA Award for Best Film.


So I'm really excited for this one.  I'll be sure to write you all soon about how it was!  I can't believe I haven't seen this!
