HATHAWAY

แอนน์ แฮททาเวย์

Learning a role, finding a voice

Her characters can enter a world that expects them to change. The interesting question is what they choose to keep.

From a royal lesson to a different kind of stage

Anne Hathaway was born in Brooklyn, New York, on 12 November 1982. She starred alongside Julie Andrews in The Princess Diaries (2001), then returned for its 2004 sequel. The films gave her room to turn awkwardness into a source of comedy and connection.

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) placed her opposite Meryl Streep in a demanding workplace. Rachel Getting Married (2008), directed by Jonathan Demme, took her into a more unsettled family drama. The contrast shows how differently she can use a character’s desire to belong.

Her performance as Fantine in Les Misérables (2012) won supporting actress at the 2013 Academy Awards. FLM.RED’s reading is that the role concentrates attention on a person whose choices keep narrowing. It offers a stark contrast to the discovery and social mobility of her earlier comedies.
