Meryl Streep, the queen of Hollywood transformations, has dropped a fun bombshell about her legendary role in The Devil Wears Prada. The three-time Oscar winner said in a recent interview that she used the quirks of real-life directors to bring Miranda Priestly, the cold fashion boss, to life.

At a fancy event to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary, Streep talked about how she learned from directors like Mike Nichols and Sidney Lumet. “I would copy their voices and ways of speaking,” she said with a laugh, copying their authoritative tones on stage. This method-acting magic helped her make Miranda’s unforgettable sharpness, which made the 2006 hit movie a cultural phenomenon.
