When Meryl Streep met fellow actor John Cazale (right) in 1976, she was a 27-year-old rising star, while Cazale, 14 years her senior, was a legend among his peers.

Photographs show abandoned Pripyat devastated by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster

Devastated hospitals, dilapidated schools and seas of gas masks in abandoned homes are all that remain of the Soviet city of Pripyat, destroyed by the Chernobyl disaster 30 years ago. It was once a thriving, vibrant community home to 50,000 scientists, workers and their families. Shops and cafes were bustling, the cinemas and museums packed, and the laughter of children in school playgrounds echoed through the streets. But on April 26 1986, all that changed forever - the world's worst nuclear catastrophe has left the Ukrainian town desolate and eerie, a shadow of its former self. The Chernobyl disaster is one of only two power plant accidents classified as a level 7 event on the Nuclear Event scale (the maximum classification) joined only by Japan's Fukushima disaster in 2011.
