Meryl Streep 'smoking and drinking' for new role

The 64-year-old American actress has been indulging in “a lot of smoking and bad posture and staying up late drinking red wine with Margo Martindale” to prepare for her role as a very badly behaved Oklahoma matriarch in ‘August: Osage County’, the New York Post reported.

‘The Devil Wears Prada’ actress was spotted with Martindale, Abigail Breslin, Juliette Lewis, Dermot Mulroney, Chris Cooper, director John Wells and writer Tracy Letts at the AMC Lincoln Square event.
