Thatcher is portrayed primarily by Meryl Streep, and, in her formative and early political years, by Alexandra Roach. Thatcher's husband, Denis Thatcher, is portrayed by Jim Broadbent and by Harry Lloyd as the younger Denis. Thatcher's longest-serving cabinet member and eventual deputy, Geoffrey Howe, is portrayed by Anthony Head.</div><div><br></div><div>Despite the film's mixed reception, Streep's performance was widely acclaimed. She received her 17th Oscar nomination for her portrayal and ultimately won the award for the third time—29 years after her second Oscar win. </div><div>She also earned her third Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama award (her eighth Golden Globe Award win overall) and her second BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

A Research Associate of the Centre for Legislative Studies, at the University of Hull, he is the author of 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street'. Described as 'a joy to read' by historian Andrew Roberts, the book demolishes many of the myths about Margaret Thatcher's life as a former Prime Minister and demonstrates why even now she remains such a dominant and iconic political figure.</i></div><div><br></div><div>All money raised, after costs will go to the EWCA</div></div></div></div>HistoryPT1H45M12A2026-09-24GBenMeryl Streep
