Meryl Streep, frequently celebrated as the finest actress of her generation, was born in New Jersey on June 22, 1949.

This quote illustrates Streep’s ability to tap into both personal and larger, more universal struggles and issues through her performances, making her relatable and a beacon of inspiration.
Born on May 4, 1929, in Belgium, Audrey Hepburn was so much more than an actress; she was a fashion icon and humanitarian. Perhaps best known for her roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Roman Holiday, Hepburn’s elegance and grace rendered her a lasting ideal of Hollywood glamour.

She won two Academy Awards for her performances, but her life was plagued by personal trauma, including struggles with mental health. In the face of these obstacles, though, Leigh’s talent and commitment to her craft are hard to forget.

Her battles with fame, mental health and relationships have made her an object of fascination for decades.
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
This quote embodies Monroe’s acceptance of imperfection and her own view of life.

Portman has a gift for mining darkness, from her breakout role in Léon: The Professional, to her Oscar-winning performance in Black Swan, and she has proven her versatility in both antagonistic, superhero roles with her as Thor's darling in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and village girl all the way to her current dynamic with the smart and eclectic, more modern day era. She is also a graduate of Harvard and an advocate for animal rights and environmental causes.
