STREEP ASHAMED OF OUT OF AFRICA AUDITION

MERYL STREEP will always be ashamed of the lengths she went too to land the lead role in hit film OUT OF AFRICA - after director SYDNEY POLLACK revealed he didn't think she was sexy enough.
The Mamma Mia! star coveted the role of Karen Blixen in the 1985 film, but had to prove she was more than just a revered leading lady.
She recalls, "I went (to the audition), pathetically, in a very low-cut blouse with a push-up bra."
