Meryl Streep has been chosen to head the jury at the Berlin International Film Festival in February. Organizers said Wednesday it will be the first time in her career that the Oscar-winning 66-year-old actress has served on a film festival jury. Streep said in a statement released by the festival: "The responsibility is somewhat daunting, as I have never been president of anything before."
