Cathy clarified: ‘I’m not saying Anne wasn’t my first choice — I’m saying I was thinking about that girl who we can all put ourselves into their shoes. The girl next door thing. Meg Ryan also does it so well. And so does Anne.
‘And I did that thing I always advise people not to do, which was really develop something with one person in mind — because what if you don’t get them?’
She explained, ‘So I definitely felt the character on the page was sort of the vintage Anne from The Princess Diaries or The Devil Wears Prada. And I missed that Anne, and I wondered if she misses it, too.’
She went on to say, ‘But also she had mentioned to me that she wanted to do something when she was 40, where she could kind of stand on top of a building and scream, “I’m 40 and I’m still vibrant. And more than that, I can still have sex, and I can still light up a room!”
‘And it worked out perfectly because she was 39, about to turn 40. She turned 40 during filming.
‘She was also someone very willing to delve into the truth of what it means to be a woman at that age. I felt like maybe America would be willing to grow up with her.’
