As a struggling bit-part actress scoring roles on Lifetime movies and as a briefcase girl on Deal Or No Deal, mixing with the A-list was a pipe dream for Meghan and her fellow wannabe stars, who were pounding the pavements in Hollywood in the mid-2000s.
“Back then, they would all talk about what it would be like to star alongside the likes of Brad Pitt or George Clooney, and of course everyone had crushes on them,” says a source. “At the time Brad was divorcing Jennifer Aniston, and even though Angelina Jolie was on the scene, Meghan outwardly confessed she’d like to be the next Mrs Pitt.”
Now, in a reversal of fortunes beyond even Meghan’s wildest dreams when she was in her early 20s, the now 38-year-old is back in LA with a prince on her arm – and she expects her new-found status to open doors with stars such as Brad, 56.
“Meghan has been badgering Brad’s people at Plan B [Entertainment] to set up a meeting for them since the day she and Harry touched back down in Los Angeles,” says a source. “When she has her eye on a prize, she relentlessly pursues it until she gets what she wants. And right now, that’s to star in a movie with Brad. She’s pestering his assistants constantly and has been begging George Clooney – a mutual friend of both Meghan and Brad’s – to set them up for a casual, professional dinner to go over her ideas.”
