In 2001, Disney’s adaptation of Meg Cabot’s best-selling book The Princess Diaries took the world by storm. The film was a coming-of-age story of Mia Thermopolis, an awkward teenage girl who discovers she’s the heir to the Genovian throne. As it turns out, Julie Andrews’ casting as Mia’s grandmother, Clarisse Renaldi, led to a significant change from the book.

When Garry Marshall signed on to direct The Princess Diaries, he knew he needed a big-name star to play the queen regent of Genovia, Clarisse. The character was an integral part of the story, and he needed someone who could bring the necessary gravitas and elegance to the role. That’s when Andrews came on board.
