People's hatred of Thatcher encouraged Streep to take role

Meryl Streep was "more interested" in portraying Margaret Thatcher due to the hatred people have for her.

The Oscar-winning actress - who portrays the British political leader in upcoming movie 'The Iron Lady' – was shocked just how people dislike people have for the 86-year-old former British prime minister, but found it made her keener to take the part.
