She has consistently spoken about her journey to romance and marriage — ...

Meryl Streep photographed by Michael Thompson, styled by Camilla Nickerson. Hair by Garren for Garren New York/L’Oréal Paris; makeup by Gucci Westman for Lancôme; manicure by Sheryl Bailey for Jed Root. Fashion assistant: Erin Simon. Mrs. Streep, do you like to cook at home? Some nights I like it, some nights I don’t. I’ve started meals and then just said, “Oh God!” and thrown it in the sink. I have done that and said, “We’re getting pizza, that’s it.” And then I’ll go lie down in my room in a funk.  When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don’t have a cook now, I haven’t had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone’s homework at the end of the day and make dinner. So what is your specialty today? Lately I’ve been making a lot of pasta. It’s easy. There are unusual tastes that you can combine. I cook because my kids like a certain kind of thing and then they want i...

In a career spanning six decades and five marriages, Collins has done serious films (‘ Decadence ’), saucy films (‘ The Bitch ’ and ‘ The Stud ’) and is most famous for playing super-bitch Alexis Colby in ’80s TV show ‘Dynasty’.  She also took on another spiky character in ‘The Time of Their Lives’, a film comedy about a former actress breaking out of an old people’s home. In real life, Collins is like a glam aunt you want to sink a bottle of pinot with. She’s cutting, but in a way that’s an adrenaline rush rather than a kick in the guts. When I ask if we can take a picture together she inspects the photos then insists we do it again on her phone. When I ask how a recent dinner with friend David Hockne...
