Anne Hathaway was not the first pick for ‘The Devil Wears Prada’

It’s difficult to picture anyone other than Anne Hathaway playing the role of overworked assistant Andy Sachs in the now-iconic movie, “The Devil Wears Prada.” But the Oscar winner was not 20th Century Fox’s first choice.

The film’s cast gathered virtually for a 15-year reunion with Entertainment Weekly, where it was revealed that actress Rachel McAdams was actually the first choice for the role of Andy. Director David Frankel said that prior to casting Hathaway, the studio initially wanted to cast a well-known actress to play the part. McAdams turned it down three times.
