Si no estás tarareando "Miracles Happen", ¿qué haces aquí?
Estamos en 2001 y tu yo adolescente está a punto de devorarse por primera vez esta obra cinematográfica. Contemplas los méritos de besar a alguien parada en un solo pie mientras te preguntas si podrías comprarte una de las backpacks que aparecen en la película, cuyo precio haría que pudieras alimentar ja toda una nación! Basada en el libro escrito por Meg Cabot, El diario de la princesa, esta historia que en ese entonces estaba a punto de ser merecedora de un Oscar, inspiraba a las chicas a hacerse un cambio de look, además de que su banda sonora encabezada por una canción de Mandy Moore, protagonizaba miles de bailes coreográficos escolares. La cinta narra la vida de una chica común de secundaria en San Francisco, Mia Thermopolis, interpretada por Anne Hathaway, quien se entera por casualidad que es una royal, mejor dicho, una princesa de verdad. Aunque el meollo real del asunto es que pasa de: "No, yo no podría ser una princesa" a: "Tengo todo el carácter para liderar una nación". Y para este año en que se avecina su tercera entrega -tan esperada- quiero contarles la igualmente increíble y dulce historia de su verdadero detrás de cámaras.
Después de que la escritora Meg Cabot entregara a su agente literario el manuscrito del libro El diario de la princesa, no encontraban ninguna editorial que se interesara en publicarlo; fue rechazado al menos 25 o 30 veces. Pero al agente se le ocurrió la gran idea de enviarlo a varios productores en Hollywood para ver si les atraía hacerlo película. Y cayó en manos de la actriz Whitney Houston.
