Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (born November 12, 1982) is an American actress. She made her acting debut in the 1999 television series Get Real, but her first prominent role was in Disney's family comedy The Princess Diaries (starring opposite Julie Andrews), which established her career.
She continued to appear in family films over the next three years, with lead roles in Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004. Hathaway would later venture away from the "G-rated" image her early acting career bestowed upon her, starring in the films Havoc and Brokeback Mountain. She later starred in The Devil Wears Prada, opposite Meryl Streep; Becoming Jane, in which she portrays Jane Austen, and Get Smart, opposite Steve Carell. In 2008 she earned widespread critical acclaim for her star turn in the film Rachel Getting Married, for which she won numerous awards, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Her acting style has been compared to that of Judy Garland and Audrey Hepburn[1] and she cites Hepburn as her favorite actress[2] and Meryl Streep as her idol.[3] People magazine named her one of 2001's breakthrough stars,[4] and in 2006, she was listed as one of the world’s 50 Most Beautiful People.[5]
2005–2007: Career transition
Brokeback Mountain (2005).
Hathaway began appearing in more dramatic r
oles after The Princess Diaries 2. She said that "anybody who was a role model for children needs a reprieve,"[14] although she also noted t
hat "it's lovely to think that my audience is g
rowi
ng up with me", a reference to her previous status as a children's actress.[22] She voiced Little Red Riding Hood in Hoodwinked! (2005), which received generally positive reviews. That same year, Hathaway starred in the R-rated Havoc, in
which she played a spoiled socialite. In a surprise move, Hathaway was featured in several nude and sexual scenes throughout the film. Although the content of the movie was radically different from her previous films, Hathaway denied that her role in the film was a blatant attemp
t
to be seen as more of a mature actress, citing her bel
ief that doing nudity in certain movies is merely a part of what her chosen form of art demands of her; and because of that belief she does not consider appearing nude in appropriate films to be morally objectionable.[29]
After Havoc, Hathaway appeared opposite He
ath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in the drama Brokeback Mountain, in a role that further displayed h
er development as a dramatic actor. Havoc was not released in theaters in the United States (but was later released in other countries) because of its weak critical reception,[30] but Brokeback Mountain won rave reviews for
its depiction of a homosexual relationship in the 1960s and received several Academy Award nominations.[31] Hathaway would later assert that the c
ontent of Brokeback Mountain was more important than its award count and that making the film made her more aware of the kind of stories she wanted to tell as an actress.[32]
Hathaway's next film was the 2006 comedy The Devil
Wears Prada, in which she starred as an assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor portrayed by Meryl Streep, whom Hathaway de
scribed as being "just divine."[8] Hathaway said that working on the film made her respect the fashion industry a great deal more than she had previously
, though she also claimed that her personal style is something she "still can't get right."[15]
In an interview with Us Weekly, Hathaway spoke about her weight loss for the film, stating, "I basically stuck with fruit, vegetables and fish [to slim down for the movie]. I wouldn’t recommend that. Emily Blunt and I would clutch at each other and cry because we were so hungry."[33]
Hathaway was initially cast in the 2007 comedy Knoc
ked Up, but dropped out before filming began and was replaced by Katherine Heigl. Writer/director Judd Apatow stated in a May 2007 issue of The New York Times Magazine that Hathaway dropped out "because she didn't want to allow us to use real footage of a woman giving birth t
o create the illusion that she is giving birth."[34] In an August 2008 interview with Marie Claire magazine, Hathaway commented that she "di
dn't believe that it was necessary to the story."[35]
Hathaway was next seen in the 2007 drama Becoming Jane, in which she portrayed English writer Jane Austen.[32] Also in 2007, Hathaway perfo
rmed a selection from the musical Saturday Night for Stephen Sondheim's 75th Birthday and ASCAP Foundation Concert
Tim Burton considered Hathaway for the p
art of Johanna in his 2007 film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, but the role went to Jayne Wisener, a then-unknown actress, repor
tedly because Burton decided he wanted an unknown actress for the part.
