Meryl Streep is among the 19 recipients of the 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom. 

“Ms. Streep has captured our imaginations with her unparalleled ability to portray a wide range of roles and attract an audience that has only grown over time, portraying characters who embody the full range of the human experience,” according to a statement by the White House. 

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation’s most prestigious civilian honor awarded to individuals, “who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” according to the White House website.
