The 2006 comedy The Devil Wears Prada, broadcast this Thursday night on TF1, would certainly not have been as successful without the screen presence of Meryl Streep, who is brilliant as a tyrannical editor at a prestigious fashion magazine. . A role that an American actor has almost never played!
If Meryl Streep barely made an appearance in The Devil Wears Prada, it’s because she showed herself, like her character Miranda Priestly, to be in the business of being uncompromising. The American, who would be ready to return to the successful saga, actually did not appreciate the first financial proposal of the studios, which was considered too weak for his taste.
“In my eyes, the offer was very light, not to say insulting. It may not reflect my true value to the project”– said the actor a few years ago, very cash, at the microphone of Variety magazine. “I put pressure on them and they doubled the offer. I was 55 and learned late how to negotiate on my own behalf.”
At the end of these tense negotiations, Meryl Streep will get this highly coveted role, especially Kim Basinger and Helen Mirren, who are also in the running. An opportunity for her to play opposite Anne Hathaway, who plays the character of young assistant Andrea Sachs on screen, a role that the actress turned down three times!
Meryl Streep, most recently seen in the lead role in the Netflix comedy Don’t Look: Space Denial, appeared in the credits for the third season of Murders Only in the Building, available on Disney+.
