Meryl Streep was 56 when she played Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Priestly, in the story, is written as being a bit older, yet Streep brings an even greater sense of class and power into the role that is so rarely found.
The legendary portrayal by Streep as the imperious fashion magazine editor has also been showered with accolades. Despite a wide age gap, her performance really captured the intricacy of the character with the understanding that when one is given an iconic role, age is merely just a number.
