Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour are more closely connected than anyone ever imagined. While fans have long compared Meryl’s iconic ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ character Miranda Priestly to the former Vogue editor, new research revealed the resemblance goes far beyond attitude and style. According to findings released by Ancestry on April 2, Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour are actually sixth cousins. Tracing both women’s family trees back six generations uncovered that they share the same fifth‑great‑grandparents, Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Kinsey, who lived in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Though Anna was born in London and Meryl hails from New Jersey, their family line evidently split long ago, only to circle back decades later on the silver screen. Both now 76, the actresses’ paths famously crossed when Meryl starred as Miranda Priestly, a role widely believed to be inspired by Anna. Over the years, Anna resisted those comparisons, but she’s leaned into them more recently, even playfully channeling Miranda’s signature edge at the 2026 Oscars alongside Anne Hathaway ahead of the May 1 release of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2.’ Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/photos/34414/how-similar-is-anna-wintour-to-miranda-priestly-the-anna-book-sheds-new-light
