Margaret Thatcher's Kids 'Appalled' by Streep Biopic

A forthcoming film about Margaret Thatcher paints the UK's first female prime minister as an addled dementia patient, and her children are "appalled," a family friend tells the Telegraph. The Iron Lady will star Meryl Streep, but Abi Morgan's script has the family up in arms. "Sir Mark and Carol are appalled at what they have learnt about the film,” says the source. "They feel strongly about it, but will not speak publicly for fear of giving it more publicity."
