I’m telling you- the American consumer is not ready to see nice cars that they cannot buy

Meryl Streep says Stanley Tucci has “an elegance to his heterosexuality”: “Stanley has an elegance to his heterosexuality, his undeniable heterosexuality, which is formidable. Not that heterosexuality is better than any other kind of sexuality, it's just that elegance - real, unforced, natural, unstyled elegance - is sometimes harder for straight men. I’m not looking at anybody here or intending any slight, but I'm just saying.”

Remember that scene from the trailers where Miranda knocks on Andy’s door and says, “you’ve got so much work to do”? Well, the only thing she actually does is spend the entire day making lots of phone calls trying to reach someone… who she already reached and contacted earlier in the movie by, yes, making lots of phone calls.

lord jesus she’s TOWERING over miranda

When Meryl Streep was 56, Fox offered her $2 million for The Devil Wears Prada. She said no and asked for $4 million. The studio said yes the same day, no haggling. They had no choice. Without her, there was no movie. The film cost about $40 million to make. It earned $326 million at the box office. The extra $2 million was nothing compared to what the movie made. Fox knew the film didn't work without her, so paying her was a no-brainer. Anne Hathaway, who played the main character, got paid $1 million for the same movie. It was the first million-dollar paycheck of her career. Streep made four times that for playing her boss. By that point, Streep had been acting for decades. She'd never asked for more money before. She thought she was about to retire. Her own words on what Fox first offered her: "Slightly, if not insulting, not perhaps reflective of my actual value to the project." Prada was the start of her biggest run yet. Mamma Mia in 2008 grossed $610 million. The biggest hit of her life. It's Complicated did $219 million the year after. The Iron Lady won her a third Oscar in 2012, at age 62. Doubt, Julie & Julia, Into the Woods, The Post, Little Women all came after Prada. Add up every Streep film and you get more than $4.5 billion at the box office. Twenty-one Oscar nominations now, more than any actor in Oscar history. What went viral from the Today interview was something she said in passing: "They needed me, I felt." The studio agreeing right away proved she was right. The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters tomorrow. It's tracking to open at around $175 million globally. Streep is 76 now. Twenty years later, she still hasn't retired.
