Meryl Streep says it took seven men to get her into 'Mamma Mia!' white spandex jumpsuit

The 59-year-old actress says the costume for the dance sequence of ABBA hit
'Super Trouper' was so tight that she had to be helped into it.
She said: "Wearing those overalls for four months was a bit of trial and the
platform shoes and the spandex jumpsuit that took seven men to get me into -
that was painful! But it was fun to dress up in those silly clothes!
"There's a freedom of expression that women of my age are not normally asked
to portray, so it was wonderful to have musical, physical and emotional
opportunity to release everything in one character."
Meryl also revealed she thought she knew the hits of ABBA, which make up the
musical on which the film is based, before she started filming the movie.
