She Liked Streep’s Portrayal
Wintour approved of Streep’s portrayal of the character based on her. “I believe it’s advantageous to individuals you’re working with, that you can make judgments,” she told ABC News. So, if Meryl appeared to be fairly forceful, I respect that.” But what did Streep make of it?
Interesting Take
Streep had a lot to say in the Entertainment Weekly cast reunion piece. Miranda Priestley was a nasty, albeit fascinating, individual, and she had some intriguing opinions about her. “Absolute authority corrupts utterly,” she wondered. I admired how she didn’t shy away from the worst aspects of herself.”
