New York, April 10 -- Hollywood actor Meryl Streep has said she is "happy to represent" older women in leading roles as she returns to the big screen with the upcoming film The Devil Wears Prada 2. The actor, who will soon turn 77, reprises her iconic role as Miranda Priestly in the sequel to the 2006 hit film, according to People.

Speaking at a press conference in Japan alongside co-star Anne Hathaway, Streep highlighted the lack of representation for older women in mainstream cinema.

"I do think that there's something in this one that's unusual, because you don't see many 70-, almost 77-year-old women playing parts like this in any movie or under any circumstance," she said, adding with a laugh, "So I'm happy to represent."
