Meryl Streep has just been cast as opera legend Maria Callas in a film version of Terrence McNally's Tony-winning play, 'Master Class' for HBO.
In 'Master Class' McNally portrays Callas as "glamorous, commanding, larger-than-life, caustic, and surprisingly drop-dead funny" woman, New York Post reported.
