BTW .......... "The film’s original ending, preferred by Hepburn and screenplay writers Ring Lardner Jr. and Michael Kanin, shows Tess making a different sort of compromise. After Sam returns the child to the orphanage, he goes missing, even though he’s supposed to be covering a big fight (in fact, he’s taking a French course, so that he can fit in a little better into Tess’ world). Tess fills in for him, visiting the gym and writing Sam’s article so she can be a “good wife.” Sam responds with the same line that he doesn’t need her to be Tess Craig, but would instead prefer Tess Harding Craig. ....... Where one ending tells the story about two people struggling to adapt to a marriage neither fully thought through, the other tells the story about a woman who has flown too close to the sun and needs to be brought down before she is accepted. ............ see: https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/woman-of-the-year-endings/?fbclid=IwAR1w6w_xy9VN3Ndsm8vm3BdseFOWOWaPKaR-H_VNcUG4S9wy3EhHXhLTSdk

SUN., 3-6 8:00 pm (ET) The Iron Lady (2011) 1h 45m | Biography Meryl Streep gives an Oscar-winning performance as Margaret Thatcher in this surprising an... Director Phyllida Lloyd Cast Meryl Streep, Ian Cooper, Peter Hallam, Danny Hambrook ".......a 2011 biographical drama film based on the life and career of Margaret Thatcher, a British politician who was the longest-serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20th century and the first woman to hold the office.[5] The film was directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Abi Morgan. Thatcher is portrayed primarily by Meryl Streep,[6] and, in her formative and early political years, by Alexandra Roach.... The Daily Telegraph reported in January 2012 that "it is impossible not to be disturbed by [Streep's] depiction of Lady Thatcher's decline into dementia" as part of an article that was headlined: "The Iron Lady reflects society's insensitive attitude towards people with dementia."[21]Roger Ebert gave the film two stars out of four, praising Streep's performance but lamenting that "she's all dressed up with nowhere to go" in a film that cannot decide what it wants to say about Thatcher: "Few people were neutral in their feelings about her, except the makers of this picture."[22] Despite the film's mixed reviews, Streep's performance in the title role garnered much critical acclaim........Streep's portrayal ultimately won her the Academy Award for Best Actress (her 17th nomination and third award overall), as well as several other awards, including the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama...........
