(FOX NEWS)--Meryl Streep is known as one of the most refined, charming and elegant ladies in Hollywood. So you can imagine our surprise when the winner of Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her role in "Julie & Julia" said a few naughty words backstage at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.

Addressing the fact that Julia Child was "not amused" about having a blog started about her culinary skills, Streep told Pop Tarts, "Julia Child was disgruntled because she felt this person was not being serious about cuisine. I think she was offended by the language. She's a lady of a certain age and certain time where you can't say f**k, f**k, f**k, all the time, and she was not used to it and I think it upset her."
Speaking of upsets, it turns out Streep was almost shunned from her hit role in 1995’s "Bridges of Madison County" because she was (shock!) 45-years-old at the time.
"There was a big fight with the studio because they said I was too old and my co-star, Clint (Eastwood), was 65, which I thought was really old," Streep told Tarts. "He seems like he was a kid to me now. But Sandra Bullock is 45 now, and it is a little bit better. The perception of her is different than it was for me 10 years ago. The business has changed. I think it really has changed a great deal for women."
