Dressed in a sheer American flag top, the 67-year-old actress screamed as she addressed the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last month.
“You know I was a cheerleader in high school, and I got out there and it felt like, ‘Man this is the big game. We’re in the big league and our team is gonna win,’ and it made me feel [for] all the women for 240 years — that America has been a country and the first 150 we couldn’t even vote — and here we are at this moment,” Streep said during an interview with Fox 411.

“I did feel the sort of throb of history and couldn’t contain myself. I didn’t, I wasn’t really aware that I screamed until I looked up at my kids in the box and they were both like this [covers face].”
