Meryl Streep, The Sunday Telegraph, August 2006
"Unfortunately, we don't have enough women in power so most of my models for this character
were of the male persuasion. Compared to the people that I used as inspirations, Miranda is
well-behaved. She's almost like a diplomat compared to some very, very, very powerful people
in the film business. The anticipation for the film is almost bloody in that people are
longing to go after Anna Wintour, or any woman in a powerful position. People love this story
because they think that the knives are out, and that makes for good anticipation at the box
office. But I was interested in portraying a woman in a powerful position, and showing exactly
how hard she has to work to stay there."
Emily Blunt, The Sun Sentinel, December 2006
"When I first met her, I had that sweaty palms syndrome. It's Meryl Streep. I was aware
of saying really stupid things around her, trying to sound smart. Annie [Hathaway] and
I would call each other and say, `Oh, my God, I just said the most embarrassing thing,
put a pillow over my head, Meryl thinks I'm an idiot.' Once you get to know her, she's
very warm and gregarious. Actually, I don't think she had that much fun playing the
character. We were all off having a party on the set, and she couldn't quite join in,
because she wanted us to be intimidated by her. Which we were, because she's Meryl
Streep, don't worry about that... Meryl had this idea to auction [all clothes] off to
charity, so we all had to swallow down our rage and go, `Great idea!' as they wrestled
my Fendi shoes out of my hands."
The book that Miranda asks Andy to retrieve for her twin daughters is Harry Potter Book 7 and would indeed be a near impossible task to hunt down. One of the prop books used in the movie sold in an online auction for $586.00 and proceeds went to Dress for Success, a non-profit organization that assists more than 45,000 disadvantaged women each year as they transition into the workforce.
