Born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 12, 1982. Anne Hathaway was already an award-winning actress and a successful soprano while still in her early teens. She was cast in the short-lived TV series "Get Real" at the age of 16, and went on to beat out 500 other young hopefuls to land the starring role in 2001s "The Princess Diaries." The likes of "Nicholas Nickleby" and "Ella Enchanted" were followed by "The Princess Diaries 2" after which she began to widen her range. Lighter fare, such a remake of TVs "Get Smart" spy spoof and "The Devil Wears Prada" was balanced against "Brokeback Mountain" and "Rachel Getting Married" a movie that earned her a plethora of awards, as well as Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. She also received great acclaim for her stage acting voice work on "The Simpsons" Subsequent credits have ranged from the frothy "Bride Wars" to the bolder "Love and Other Drugs" and from the fantasy of "Alice in Wonderland" to the animated hit "Rio" Hathaway will follow her part in this summer's blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" by playing Fantine in the screen versions of the musical "Les Miserables" a role which sees her sporting a brutal crop!
