Though it’s hard now for fans to imagine any other actress portraying Andy Sachs, the magazine newcomer who landed the job “a million girls would kill for” as fashion editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly’s assistant, Hathaway has said she needed to fight to land her part in the 2006 comedy-drama. Shewas actually ninth in linefor the role of Andy oppositeMeryl Streep.
“I will give you some tea: I was the ninth choice forDevil Wears Prada,” she revealedduring an appearanceonRuPaul’s Drag Race. “But I got it! Hang in there, never give up.”
Hathaway also toldVarietyhow hard she had to work to get the role. The actress said she had to “be patient” and traced the words “hire me” in the sand of a desk zen garden of an executive after their meeting was over to catch their attention.

But when Hathaway landed the acting gig, she was over the moon. “I was putting on a shirt,” she said. “I had some buddies over. I remember running out in my living room, half dressed, screaming — I gotThe Devil Wears Prada! I gotThe Devil Wears Prada!”
