Hillary remarked that she was glad Meryl had not made a movie called "The Devil Wears Pantsuits."
Later this month, at the Sixth Annual Women in the World Summit, yet another powerhouse of stage and screen will join Team Hillary-Meryl.
Dame Helen Mirren, who has garnered the same three awards as Streep for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 film The Queen, and currently plays Elizabeth Windsor once again to wide acclaim in The Audience on Broadway, will lend her considerable talent to the event.
The Summit will take place from April 22 - 24 at the David H. Koch Theater and promises to be the hottest ticket in town. A portion of all ticket proceeds will benefit Vital Voices Global Partnership.
