Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, and basis for the Meryl Streep hit role of The Devil Wears Prada, had quite the request for daytime talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
Wintour had told the talk show host to drop 20 pounds to be on the cover of the fashion magazine back in 1998!
“It was a very gentle suggestion,” she said, laughing. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight.”
She added: “I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper!”
Winfrey must have listened to the fashion legend. She was featured on the cover from more than 10 years ago with the tagline: “Oprah! A Major Movie, An Amazing Makeover.”
“She totally welcomed the idea, and she went on a very stringent diet,” Wintour said. “And it was one of our most successful covers ever.”
