Winner of multiple prestigious film awards, Anne Hathaway has long established herself as one of America's most successful actresses. In the past few years, she has added a career as a producer to acting.
Biography
Anne Jacqueline Hathaway was born in 1982 in one of the largest boroughs of New York - Brooklyn, but grew up in the US state of New Jersey. Her father worked as a lawyer, and her mother played in the theater. They were both religious people, and raised all three children (Anne was the middle child) in a Catholic order.
During her school years, the girl was an extremely versatile person. She studied well, sang, played sports and played in school plays. During the same period, she began to think about an acting career and enrolled in special courses.
After school, she entered a women's college in New York, which did not suit her at all. The girl was transferred to another university, where she was free to independently choose the subjects she needed. She later called this decision one of the most successful in her life. Most of all she enjoyed studying classical literature and psychology. In parallel, she has already acted in films.
Film career
At one of the amateur productions, Anne Hathaway's talent was noticed by the producer of the series “Be Yourself” and invited her to try herself as an actress in a movie. The girl agreed, and in 1999 she appeared on television in several episodes of the project. Already 2 years after her debut role, the girl is offered to play the main character in the film How to Become a Princess. The comedy made a good profit and became very popular, and Hathaway herself became a famous actress in her 20s.
She began to be invited to many family films. "Ella Enchanted" and "The Princess Diaries 2" liked the audience as well as the first Hathaway film about the princess. But at 22, the actress announced that she was not going to play princesses forever and wanted to try herself in more serious projects. She achieved work in the crime film Crazy and in the Oscar-winning drama Brokeback Mountain. These films have demonstrated a fundamentally new level of acting skills of the young actress.
Later, Anne Hathaway played in a wide variety of film genres: melodramas, dramas, biographies, historical films, action films, comedies, musicals and thrillers, and even voiced cartoons. In 2009, she was first nominated for an Oscar for her work in the film Rachel Gets Married, and three years later she received the coveted award for Les Miserables.
Personal life
Anne Hathaway's first public relations were extremely unsuccessful. Her partner Rafaello Folieri was actively involved in fraudulent activities under the guise of financing medicine in poor countries. In 2004, they began a romantic relationship, and in 2008 he was jailed for fraud. The scandal that surrounded the girl unsettled her for a while. However, having met with warm support from loved ones and the public, Hathaway came to her senses.
In 2012, the actress married Adam Shulman, a designer. In this marriage, the couple had a son. Both parents try to devote the maximum amount of time to their son, but they do not abandon their careers.
The actress is actively involved in charity events and fights for the rights of children, especially in third world countries. She gave up meat many years ago, does not smoke and tries not to drink alcohol.
Since 2017, the actress has often been bombarded with offensive comments about her appearance and increasing weight. For a while, Hathaway tried to close her eyes to such statements, but in the end she could not restrain herself. On her page on the social network Instagram, the actress strictly replied to all the haters that weight gain is necessary for her new role. The film, in which Hathaway is going to take part, is still unknown.
