In a surprising revelation, Meryl Streep, the Oscar-winning actress behind the iconic character Miranda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada," has shared the true inspiration behind her portrayal of the demanding and ruthless fashion editor. Appearing on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," Streep revealed that her character was actually based on none other than Diana Vreeland, the former editor-in-chief of Vogue. While Anna Wintour, the current editor-in-chief of Vogue, has long been associated with the character, Streep's comments shed new light on the origins of Miranda Priestly. The film, released in 2006, was a critical and commercial success, thanks in large part to Streep's unforgettable performance.
