She Liked Streep’s Portrayal
Wintour was fine with Streep’s portrayal of the character based on herself. ABC News quoted her as saying, “I think it’s actually helpful to people that you are working with, that you can make decisions. So, if Meryl seemed somewhat strong, I respect that.” However, what was Meryl Streep’s take on it?
Interesting Take
Streep had a lot to say about the cast reunion in Entertainment Weekly. As interesting as Miranda Priestley was to observe, she was an unwelcome presence in the lives of those around her. She paused, thinking, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely…. I liked that there wasn’t any backing away from the horrible parts of her.”
