A perfectionist in her craft and meticulous and painstaking in her preparation for her roles, Meryl turned out a string of highly acclaimed peformances over the next 10 years in great films like "The Silkwood (1983)"; "Out of Africa (1985)"; "Ironweed (1987)"; and "Cry in the Dark, A (1988)". Her career declined slightly in the early 1990s as a result of her inability to find suitable parts, but she shot back to the top in 1995 with her performance as Clint Eastwood's married lover in "Bridges of Madison County (1995)" and as the prodigal daughter in "Marvin's Room (1996)". In 1998 she made her first venture into the area of producing, and was the executive producer for the moving "...First Do No Harm (1997) (TV)".
