from Nerdist in Audio

Meryl Streep Rejected 'The Devil Wears Prada' Until Her Pay Was DoubledIn a look back at the making of the iconic 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, it was revealed that Meryl Streep almost walked away from playing the legendary fashion editor Miranda Priestly. When initially approached for the role, Streep felt the studio's salary offer was insulting and did not reflect her immense value to the project. She prepared to reject the role and walk away from negotiations entirely. Realizing they were about to lose their star, the studio executives panicked and immediately doubled her salary offer. Streep accepted the new number, ultimately delivering one of the most defining performances of her career.Visit  https://nerdist.com/article/meryl-streep-rejected-devil-wears-prada-for-double-pay/  to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player) Hosted on Acast.
