‘It’s Going To Be Great’
The former president of Fox 2000, Elizabeth Gabler, said in the magazine, “Meryl and J. Roy Helland, who’s been at her side through so much of her career, came up with the look, which we weren’t expecting. She just said ‘My girls, don’t you worry, this is what I’m going to do and it’s going to be great.’”
Method Acting
David Frankel also mentioned, “The first time Meryl was Miranda Priestly was a meeting with the head of the studio. Meryl channeled Miranda in that meeting, and there was no conversation about the hair; they looked into Meryl’s eyes and never said a word.” Streep’s acting was based on method.
