Meryl Streep is set to take to the stage with New York's Major Michael Bloomberg next week (08Nov10) to host the politician's annual arts and culture prize-giving.
The Sophie's Choice star will help present the trophies at the Mayor's Awards for Arts & Culture, which honour the achievements of artistic New Yorkers, at the Lincoln Center in Manhattan next Monday (08Nov10).
And Bloomberg admits he is extremely nervous about co-hosting the event with such an impressive star.
He tells the New York Daily News, "She is one of the greatest actresses of our time, so I've got a lot of rehearsing to do before next Monday."
Streep was last seen on the big screen in It's Complicated earlier this year, which saw her work alongside Alec Baldwin.
And she still has plenty of movie roles in the pipeline. She has been linked to Bella Luna and Welcome to People and is set to play Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady alongside Jim Broadbent.
