Julie and Julia star Meryl Streep still loves making movies, but she says she needs a break. It’s not filming the movies that is exhausting it’s the promoting the films that can be tiring.

“Seven movies in two and a half years,” she said. “I have never worked this hard ever. I am exhausted, I’m feeling like I need a break. Promoting movies is not fun. The most fun part is making the movies. Selling a movie is more to do with wardrobe and shoes and cleaning up and being presentable.

Does this mean that Ms. Streep will be walking away from the whole Hollywood experience?  No.  Meryl explains that she just needs some time for life and not work.

“I haven’t ever considered giving up acting, but I do need enforced rest in my career. When each of my children was born I took a year off. It is very nice to have time to live, gather experiences and watch other people.”

Seven movies in 2 years?  That’s a lot of work, on set and off.  And with Streep’s world wide promotion for Julie and Julia, I say she could need a break.  I just hope she doesn’t take too long of a vacation.
