Anne Hathaway (wife of Shakespeare) love "Anne Whateley". Anne is depicted as shrewish in the first play, and as spiteful towards her former rival in the latter. A frosty relationship is also portrayed in Edward Bond's play "Bingo: Scenes of Money and Death" (1973), about Shakespeare's last days, and in the 1978 TV series "Will Shakespeare". "The World's Wife", a collection of poems by Carol Ann Duffy, features a sonnet entitled "Anne Hathaway", based on the passage from Shakespeare's will regarding his "second-best bed". Duffy chooses the view that this would be their marriage bed, and so a memento of their love, not a slight.
Anne Hathaway learned martial arts and dancing techniques in preparation. While filming an action sequence, Hathaway split the flesh of her shin to the bone, which led to her receiving 15 stitches. The film, centering on an analyst who dreams of becoming a real field agent and a better spy, was a financial success. Hathaway's following film, the American-Canadian mystery thriller "Passengers" alongside Patrick Wilson, was a critical and commercial failure. She then starred with Debra Winger in "Rachel Getting Married" as Kym, a young woman, who after being released from drug rehabilitation, returns home for her sister's wedding. "Rachel Getting Married"
