Meryl Streep once had to sleep rough in London

Meryl Streep once had to sleep rough in London.

Before she made it big in Hollywood, the 59-year-old actress spent the night
in Green Park because she couldn't afford to stay in a hotel or hostel.
Meryl, who was 20 at the time, said: "On my very, very first trip to London
I went around busking to earn a few pennies to afford some food and
overnight accommodation. One night, when I hadn't made enough, I actually
slept in the open in Green Park under a tree."
Meryl insists the grounding experience made her determined to make a success
of her career.
She added to Closer magazine: "The view from the park was of the Ritz hotel,
and I vowed to myself that night that I was going to stay there one day -
and I have."
