The Mamma Mia star, who turned 60 this year, said that she can't believe she still gets great leading roles, as Hollywood discriminates against older women.
Streep told Vanity Fair magazine: "It's incredible - I'm 60, and I'm playing the romantic lead in romantic comedies. Bette Davis is rolling over in her grave."
She continued: "I've been given great, weird, interesting parts well past my 'sell-by date'. I remember saying to my husband Don when I was 38, 'Well, it's over'. And then we kicked the can down the road a little further."
Streep added: "I can't remember the last time I really worried about being appealing. I think it was a really long time ago."
