Streep's most recent role is based on a real person, making the portrayal even more challenging.
Foster, who was alive from 1868 until 1944, was an amateur soprano who was known and mocked for her flamboyant performance costumes and notably poor singing ability. The historian Stephen Pile ranked her 'the world's worst opera singer.'
Despite her lack of talent she became a prominent musical cult figure in New York City during the 1920s, '30s, and '40s.
