MERYL STREEP’S HOMELESS EXPERIENCE IN LONDON

The Hollywood star came to the U.K. when she was a struggling actress in her twenties and earned her keep by busking for loose change.

Streep admits that some days she would not earn enough to pay for a hotel - and once had to spend the night in London’s Green Park.

She tells British magazine Closer, “On my very, very first trip to London, when I was 20, I went around busking to afford food and overnight accommodation. One night when I hadn’t earned enough, I actually slept in the open in Green Park, under a tree.

“The view was of the Ritz hotel and I vowed to myself that night that I was going to stay there one day - and I have!”
