Actress Julianne Moore says she has always admired Meryl Streep and credited the 65-year-old for inspiring her to become an actress.
"I can remember when Meryl Streep was on the cover of Time magazine when I was in high school, and I said to my dad, 'I think I want to do this'. She is just such a great actress. And she's someone who has managed to have a family, a marriage and a career," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Moore as saying.
Moore is currently seen in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1".
She is also being tipped to be a major force in the Oscar race next year for her central performance in "Still Alice".
