(Redirected from Anne Hathaway (actress)) Anne Jacqueline Hathaway (born November 12, 1982) is an American actress and singer. Her breakthrough debut film role was as Mia Thermopolis in the Disney comedy The Princess Diaries (2001).
Sorry, America.) For opposite reasons, we don't have it with Meryl Streep, even if we wish Dame Meryl hadn't waited so long to take her own brilliance for granted and loosen up some. Hathaway is in another categoryâand in that category, the old-fashioned magic of movies, such as it is in 2013, may reside. If she doesn't win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar on Sunday night for her performance as Fantine in Les MisÃ©rables, bookies worldwide will lose their shirts. Yet that only begs the question of whether her maddeningly indeterminate acting chops are relevant to her appeal.
