The Iron Lady Revisited

The first image of luminous Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher has been released as filiming begins on The Iron Lady.

The film is being directed by Philida Lloyd and also stars Jim Broadbent as Denis, Baroness Thatcher's husband. There has been considerable rumbling about an American playing Lady Thatcher but we have no doubt that Streep, iron lady in a velvet glove, will do a brilliant job.
