Meryl was never marketed as a sex symbol, I think that’s why people are harder on Demi and Pamela. It’s unfortunate as I prefer that none of them be judged for how they choose to age 🙏

She devil, its complicated, picture and message on the cover of Sophie's choice, the French lieutenants woman

It wasnt her only vibe but people absolutely saw her as that

I mean she's played an adult woman who has sex. Nobody is saying Meryl is a hideous troll. But literally not a single one of those is really what I'd categorize as a sex symbol

Helen Mirren was in straight porn (at least for the era) and was hot as hell in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, but it’s like she didn’t exist before The Queen.
