"While her luminous on-screen presence is never less
than dazzling, you always feel her keen intelligence and wit, her extraordinary
level of insight," Gala Tribute Director Wendy Keys said in a statement Monday.
"She truly embodies every character she plays."
The Film Society of Lincoln Center has annually paid
tribute to major film figures since 1972, when it honored Charlie Chaplin. Other
honorees have included Fred Astaire, Alfred Hitchcock, Clint Eastwood, Martin
Scorsese, Jane Fonda and, most recently, Diane Keaton.
Streep has won two Oscars (in 1980 for "Kramer vs.
Kramer" and 1983 for "Sophie's Choice") and been nominated 12 other times,
including earlier this year for her performance in "The Devil Wears Prada."
