Meryl Streep enjoys playing older women?
Meryl Streep had recently said that she feels elated while representing older women in leading roles like Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada. In a video that AP had put out on Instagram on Wednesday, the 76-year-old actress said, "I do think that there's something in this one that's unusual, because you don't see many 70-, almost 77-year-old women playing parts like this in any movie or under any circumstance...So I'm happy to represent, you know." "Often women over 50, I'd say, disappear into the woodwork...Their interests and opinions are less valued in our culture, so it's fun to see this person who is credibly placed in the world and having that influence," she further adds. The Devil Wears Prada 2 revolves around Meryl Streep as Runway magazine's editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly, as she finds difficulties in dealing with decline of print journalism and adjusts to the newer demands - wherein the focus is on numbers. Miranda Priestly finds a tough competitor in Emily Blunt's character - Emily. Her former assistant now works as a powerful executive at Dior. Andrea Sachs is now hired as features editor At Runway and does everything possible to save her. For the unversed, The Devil Wears Prada is based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel which was inspired by her experiences as an assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The film - directed by David Frankel, had released on June 30, 2006.
