MERYL STREEP has ended an almost two-decade-long myth suggesting she angrily attacked MADONNA after missing out on the lead in movie musical EVITA, insisting she never said what was reported.
In a 1991 New York Times article, the Oscar winner allegedly savaged Madonna, stating she could "rip her throat out," after the pop star landed Evita.
But Streep insists she would never have said such a thing.
She says, "That's one of those things you can never erase from whatever it is, the Internet. Why would I say that? "I was out of the running by the time they got the musical together."
