Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway is a very popular American actress and opera singer. She is best known for her ability to do physical comedy. Anne made her acting debut in 1999, when she starred in the short-live TV series, Get Real. She gained popularity in the title roles of such family fare as Disney's Ella Enchanted and both Princess Diaries films. In 2005, Anne broke away from her family-friendly roles by starring in Havoc and Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain. Havoc never made it to theaters due to poor reviews, but was released straight into DVD. However, Brokeback Mountain went on to capture many awards, including three Oscars and four Golden Globes (including Best Picture - Drama). In 2006, she appeared opposite Meryl Streep in the critics favorite, The Devil Wears Prada. The film was a huge and surprising success at the box office and it stands to date as Anne's highest grossing film. In 2008, Anne's work in Rachel Getting Married earned her her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress. In 2009, Anne makes her public theater debut in Shakespeare in the Park production, Twelve Night, where she plays Violet.
