History Creator / AnneHathaway

* ShakespearianActors: Her mom is a classical theater actress and she underwent classical training while growing up. She is named from William Shakespeare's wife, after all. Despite the classical training, the only known Shakesearian play she did was ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'' in 2009.

* TheCastShowoff: Page quote notwithstanding, Hathaway has sung in several of her projects.
* CelebrityVoiceActor: ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', the English-language dub of ''Anime/TheCatReturns'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (and taking home an Emmy for one of her performances[[note]](she's been on both ''Family Guy'' and ''The Simpsons'' twice)[[/note]] on the latter).

* NamesTheSame: Like the wife of William Shakespeare, after whom she is named.
* OneOfUs: If her Oprah interview is to be believed. She apparently was very enthusiastic about playing ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}. Her interview with Jon Stewart has her admit that she's a total ''{{Scrabble}}'' fanatic.
* PlayingAgainstType: In ''Rachel Getting Married'', playing a much less sympathetic character than her usual PluckyGirl roles.
** PlayingWithCharacterType: Before undergoing TomHanksSyndrome she played a lot of wholesome squeaky-clean girls in various Disney films. In ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'' she plays the White Queen as a sort of darker take on her earlier innocent characters. The Queen is in the UncannyValley and is strongly implied to be a StepfordSmiler. WordOfGod says that she surrounds herself with so much light imagery because she's too tempted by the dark side.

* AuthorAppeal: As [[WebOriginal/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] pointed out, weddings seem to be one for her, seeing how she's been in three movies (The Princess Diaries 2, RachelGettingMarried, and BrideWars) that have marriage as a central theme.

* PlayingAgainstType: In ''Rachel Getting Married''.

* CelebrityVoiceActor: ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', the English-language dub of ''TheCatReturns'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (and taking home an Emmy for one of her performances[[note]](she's been on both ''Family Guy'' and ''The Simpsons'' twice)[[/note]] on the latter).

Despite her relative youth, Hathaway has been very busy indeed (recent press has described her as “one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood”). At the start of 2011, she was cast as Selina Kyle--better known as ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}--in Creator/ChristopherNolan's third [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga ''Batman'' film]] ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. She then scored her childhood dream role of Fantine in ''Film/LesMiserables2012'', which got her a virtual confetti shower of glowing reviews and won her a Golden Globe and an [[AcademyAward Oscar]] for Best Supporting Actress.

* Fantine in ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' (won an AcademyAward for Best Supporting Actress)

After a string of wildly successful (family-friendly) film credits, Hathaway made a conscious decision to shift toward darker roles. Her starring role in ''RachelGettingMarried'' is best emblematic of that phase, though those of the male persuasion would probably cite her performance in ''Havoc'', for which she earned critical acclaim. However, it was 2005's ''BrokebackMountain'' which officially put Hathaway on the map, and buried her squeaky-clean resumé for good. That following year, she got to act alongside her idol, Creator/MerylStreep, in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada''.

* BoyishShortHair: In 2014, she has kept the pixie haircut look since after having her hair cut short for ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' (and it carried over into Film/{{Intersteller}}). However, she now sports a bob-ish type hairstyle.
