Isn't Meryl Streep The Greatest Living Actor?

Where she is is definitely talented and starred in one of my fav movies of all time being thought of of the greatest actor is subjective. Many comedic actors do not get the same respect as dramatic actors...nor action -type actors. It takes a lot to learn any craft and you go to where your talent, skill, andpersona take you. Many actors have gotten trapped or stereo-typed in one mold so they will never get out. Other have tremendous classical training but for one reason or another they go for the paycheck and then do what they love on the side.

Meryl Streep becomes her character when she acts. She really is quite phenominal.
