According to WENN, the Oscar-winning actress admitted that she employed the technique to boost her sex appeal in castings.
"I have cheated to get a part. The first time I was on Broadway years ago. Before the audition I filled by 32DD bra cups with paper towels," she is quoted as saying.
"I got the part! I did it again to Sydney Pollack for Out Of Africa. I'd heard he didn't think I was sexy enough so I filled them up again."
Streep eventually earned an Oscar nomination for her role as author Karen Blixen in the 1985 movie.
