Meryl Streep | 37 & 42

Multi-award-winning actress Meryl Streep, who is effortlessly followed by a trail of accolades, has been blessed with her eldest son and three daughters. Her daughter Grace, who contracted the acting gene and Louisa, a household name in the modelling world, were born when Streep was about 37 and 42 years old, respectively. Her older daughter Mamie, who is a stunning image of her mom, takes after her with a number of film projects, critically acclaimed shows like True Detective, and a resume including impressive cameos when she was just a little baby.

Her son Henry also went down a creative road as a talented musician in his own right, with his song Stop the Train featured in the Julie & Julia soundtrack, a highly praised movie of his mother’s. When Streep isn’t acting, she delegates her time to being a mother, which in itself is a difficult but immensely fulfilling duty. She also has various real estate investments, philanthropic backings, and human rights’ promotions. Way to go mom!
