Meryl Streep was awarded this Wednesday with the Princess of Asturias of the Arts. The name designates the most famous and perfect of the actresses who now populate the earth.

Streep has always understood her craft as a moral issue and her commitment to each of her characters has transformed it into a blood pact. No one has ever made us cry like she has, and the same could be said of what we call love. The actress is the most ardent defender of the guardian angels, Sidney Pollack says.
