"She was kind of a bossy little bully sort of girl," Schulman explains. "She had scraggly short hair, cat-eye glasses that made her look like a middle-aged secretary. She was completely unconcerned with how she looked and being liked."
Two years later that changed — abruptly — thanks to hard work and sheer willpower. Streep decided to be beautiful and popular. Leafing through women's magazines like Seventeen and Cosmo for inspiration, she dyed her hair, got contacts, practiced giggles, and set her mind to becoming the queen bee of her high school in Bernardsville, N.J.
"She joined the cheerleading squad, she was the lead in every musical, she would do the French club and student council," says Schulman. "And eventually her senior year she was elected homecoming queen, which was kind of the pinnacle. It was kind of like winning best actress of her high school."

TBH, once you've been pigeonholed into a high school clique, it's pretty damn hard to break out of it. She did it, which is a testament to her acting ability

her daughters would be pretty had they not ended up with their mother's nose

That depends. Titties and showing them off can change things quickly.
