Meryl Streep

In the movie The Devil Wears Prada Meryl Streep portrays a head-strong, power hungry, in control business woman who possesses a tremendous amount of power. The character is extremely skilled at keeping that power, and ensuring that it is never taken from her. Throughout the movie she uses her power to transform a humble nerdy young lady into a sophisticated fashion savvy woman. She uses her power to torture those around her, setting impossibly high standards for her employees to adhere to. She also uses the power to ensure her position is safe at her place of business. Meryl Streep portrays a head-strong, power hungry, in control business woman, and the role illustrates a character who is conscious of the importance of power in her life personally, and the lives of those who surround her.
