It's not easy to portray a real person, especially a historical figure we all know. But many have done it. In a gallery at My Modern Met, you can see 18 actors and the people they portrayed in movies. Which ones look the most like the real thing? Link -via Flavorwire
From the photos, Streep/Thatcher is pretty much spot on. Some of the others are decent. Don't think anyone can look like a young Elizabeth Taylor, my crush as a young boy.

With what little I know of Malcolm X, and that photo of him, it would seem the anger, determination and sense of purpose never left his facial expression. It's in his eyes.

Yes, Streep did very well as both Queen Elizabeth II and Margaret Thatcher. But Michael Keaton was unconvincing as Batman.
