Kate Hudson, who became popular in the early 2000s for starring in Almost Famous and How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, recently said she was up for The Devil Wears Prada, but passed on the role. As she told Capital FM:

The Devil Wears Prada, directed by David Frankel, was adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s novel of the same name. It follows aspiring journalist Andy, who travels to New York City and starts working as an assistant to one of the city’s biggest high fashion magazine editors, the cynical Miranda Priestly (Streep).

Kate Hudson admitted on the “Capital Breakfast” radio show (via Entertainment Weekly) that turning down “ The Devil Wears Prada ” was “a bad call.” Before Anne Hathaway was cast as Andrea “Andy” Sachs, director David Frankel met with the likes of Hudson, Rachel McAdams, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst.
