It's hard to picture anyone other than Meryl Streep as the iconic Miranda Priestly in 'The Devil Wears Prada' but according to one producer, it almost didn't happen.

Producer Wendy Finerman recently said on the 'Hollywood Gold' podcast that the Oscar-winning actress was almost passed over for the role since someone in production believed she wasn't funny enough.
