As to the original question, "all-time" is an awful long time, so no.

No matter what you haters think, Hollywood thinks she great. They may not award her, but they nominate her an awful lot. She may walk away from this Planet with the most nominations, at this rate. She seems to get one every other year.

I've only seen a few films starring Meryl Streep, but she endeared herself to me when I discovered she was engaged to one of the greatest actors of the 1970s (John Cazale).

None that I know of, for which we should be grateful. If only Streep had that much wisdom.
Hepburn also never did anything as awful as She-Devil or the Manchurian Candidate remake.
12 Oscar nominations of which she won four, compared to Streep's two wins and fourteen noms. Hepburn also had nominations for BAFTA, Golden Globes, Emmys, and the Tonys, of which she scored wins for the BAFTAs and Emmys.

How many nominations for awards did she get?

Damn, she's right. I can't think of a real "Meryl Streep film". Jesus, that's gotta do something to your sense of self.

That's fake, right? Right? Certainly she didn't write this:
"A couple things bother me about The Deer Hunter. One, it's overrated. Yes, I said it. And two, how long was I in the The Deer Hunter? Three, maybe four minutes? Truthfully, I don't really remember being in the The Deer Hunter at all. (Same goes for Manhattan.) Then there's Out Of Africa, which, come on. We all know that movie was kind of the worst. That and The Bridges Of Madison County...don't even get me started on The Bridges Of Madison County."
