Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor in chief, has stated that she is focused on the creative aspect of her job and that she has no personal life to worry about. The film adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, which was based on her experiences with Vogue, was initially in the works before the book even hit shelves. However, Aline Brosh McKenna, who was tasked with creating a new script based on the author Lauren Weisberger's brief stint as Vogue's assistant, said she was lucky to have supportive people who helped with her work. The production of the film, which also tackled the issue of location and gender issues, was hampered by Winour's reputation and her reach.
