Quite a few would grant her the ascendant position on the pedestal of modern actresses.
I remain very impressed with her earlier work. Has a bigger bitch ever been portrayed so cunningly as in "Kramer vs Kramer?"
How about the faithful, kind girlfriend of "The Deer Hunter?"
In "French Lieutenant's Woman," however, I believe she did her best work: a bravura performance.
"Silkwood" began her descent: neither she, nor any other actor, can play all roles. She seemed like a Yalie trying to mimic a working class woman. (Bette Davis, otoh, did a masterful job of it in "Of Human Bondage.")
From then on, it was a series of "accent" roles.
So, in answer to my own question, I'd say early Meryl deserves the accolade "great," but for the past several decades, she has been a sort of mimic, both of dialects and emotions.
