Meryl Streep Wears Long Gray Wig for 'The Giver'

Meryl Streep is spotted in character as Chief Elder in her long gray wig and blue skirt suit on the set of her movie The Giver last week in Cape Town, South Africa.

The 64-year-old actress’ character is described as the “authoritarian charged with keeping order in a society that seems utopian,” according to Deadline.

Here is how the movie is described: In a seemingly perfect community, without war, pain, suffering, differences or choice, a young boy (Brenton Thwaites) is chosen to learn from an elderly man (Jeff Bridges) about the true pain and pleasure of the “real” world.

The Giver will hit theaters on August 15.
