Rachel McAdams Repeatedly Turned Down Anne Hathaway's Role in 'The Devil Wears Prada'
Former Fox 2000 president Elizabeth Gabler recalled Hathaway's efforts to win the part."
I remember her sitting on my sofa in my office and explaining why she wanted to do this, why she had to play this role, and giving script notes about the third act. When I look back on it, it wasn't exactly what we ended up doing, but her sensibilities were completely aligned with what we ended up doing," Gabler said."Annie never gave up. She never stopped campaigning, calling, she came into [Fox executive] Carla Hacken's office and wrote in her zen garden, 'Hire me.
Ultimately, Meryl Streep played a crucial role in Hathaway's casting."Meryl was eager to make the movie, and she said, 'Let me meet with her,'" Frankel said."was about to come out. Annie had a wonderful, small role in that. And Meryl watched that scene from the movie, she met with her and called up Tom Rothman at Fox and said, 'Yeah, this girl's great, and I think we'll work well together.
The news, unsurprisingly, delighted Hathaway."I patiently waited until it was my turn, and I got the call. It was the easiest yes in the world," she said."I remember the moment I found out I got the part, I just ran screaming through my apartment.
