Hathaway recently revealed on RuPaul's Drag Race that she was the ninth choice for the role of Andy Sachs, but what we didn't know is that Streep pushed for the actress to be cast after watching her performance in Brokeback Mountain. "Meryl watched that scene from [Brokeback Mountain], she met with [Hathaway] and called up Tom Rothman at Fox and said, 'Yeah, this girl's great, and I think we'll work well together,'" Frankel said.
Frankel also shared that Rachel McAdams, their top choice, had been offered the part three times, but she was "determined not to do it." Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, and Kirsten Dunst were also considered for the role.
