"Meryl Streep is known as a class act in Hollywood, so reporters were shocked when the actress, 60, cussed three times back stage at Sunday&amp;apos;s Golden Globes in Hollywood.\r\nStreep - who won best leading actress for playing Julia Child in Julie &amp;amp; Julia - was discussing the fact that Child was &amp;quot;not amused&amp;quot; by a blog centered on her culinary skills. The blog was written by fledgling writer Julie Powell, who vowed to whip up 524 of Child&amp;apos;s recipes in 365 days. The blog inspired a 2002 memoir by Powell and Streep&amp;apos;s hit movie.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Julia Child was disgruntled because she felt this person was not being serious about cuisine,&amp;quot; Streep said. &amp;quot;I think she was offended by the language. She&amp;apos;s a lady of a certain age and certain time where you can&amp;apos;t say f***, f***, f***, all the time, and she was not used to it, and I think it upset her.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStreep also addressed ageism in Hollywood, admitting that she was almost turned down for 1995&amp;#x2019;s Bridges of Madison County because she was 45 at the time.\r\n&amp;quot;There was a big fight with the studio because they said I was too old and my co-star, Clint (Eastwood), was 65, which I thought was really old,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;He seems like he was a kid to me now. But Sandra Bullock is 45 now, and it is a little bit better. The perception of her is different than it was for me 10 years ago. The business has changed. I think it really has changed a great deal for women.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStreep said times have only gotten worse for young actresses, thanks to the Internet and constant scrutiny.\r\n&amp;quot;I always say to my daughters, you don&amp;apos;t have to do anything you don&amp;apos;t want to do and don&amp;apos;t read things about yourself. Don&amp;apos;t read the blogs,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;It is really hard not to Google yourself. But it is much, much better for your mental health and everything else. You try to lessen the self awareness and self-consciousness.&amp;quot;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
