Hathaway performed in several plays in high school. As a teenager, she was cast in the television series Get Real (1999–2000) and made her breakthrough by playing the lead role in the Disney comedy The Princess Diaries (2001). After starring in a string of family films, including Ella Enchanted (2004), Hathaway made a transition to mature roles with the 2005 drama Brokeback Mountain. The comedy-drama The Devil Wears Prada (2006), in which she played an assistant to a fashion magazine editor, was her biggest commercial success to that point. She played a recovering addict in the drama Rachel Getting Married (2008), which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Hathaway had further commercial success in the comedy Get Smart (2008), the romances Bride Wars (2009), Valentine’s Day (2010), and Love & Other Drugs (2010), and the fantasy film Alice in Wonderland (2010). In 2012, she starred as Catwoman in her highest-grossing film, The Dark Knight Rises, and played Fantine, a prostitute dying of tuberculosis, in the musical Les Misérables, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the latter. She has since played a scientist in the science fiction film Interstellar (2014), the owner of a fashion website in the comedy The Intern (2015), a haughty actress in the heist film Ocean’s 8 (2018), a con artist in the comedy The Hustle (2019), Rebekah Neumann in the miniseries WeCrashed (2022), and an older woman dating a young pop star in the romantic comedy The Idea of You (2024).
Hathaway has won a Primetime Emmy Award for her voice role in the sitcom The Simpsons, sung for soundtracks, appeared on stage, and hosted events. She supports several charitable causes. She is a board member of the Lollipop Theatre Network, an organization that brings films to children in hospitals, and advocates for gender equality as a UN Women goodwill ambassador.
Family and early roles
Anne Hathaway’s family moved from Brooklyn, New York, to Millburn, a New Jersey suburb, when she was six years old. Her father, Gerald, was a lawyer, and her mother, Kate McCauley, was a stage actress.
When she was young, Hathaway toured with her mother during a production of the musical Les Misérables, which spurred her to pursue a career in theater. She studied with New York’s prestigious Barrow Group, and at age 16 she landed her first television role, on the family drama Get Real (1999–2000).
Personal life
In 2004, Hathaway began a romantic relationship with Italian real estate developer Raffaello Follieri. Follieri’s Manhattan-based foundation focused on efforts such as providing vaccinations for children in poor countries.
In June 2008, it was investigated by the IRS for failure to file required nonprofit information forms. In June 2008, Follieri was arrested on charges of defrauding investors out of millions of dollars in a scheme in which he posed as the Vatican’s real-estate agent. It was reported that the FBI confiscated Hathaway’s private journals from Follieri’s New York City apartment as part of their ongoing investigation into Follieri’s activities. Hathaway was not charged with any crime. In October 2008, after earlier pleading guilty, Follieri was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
In early 2007, Hathaway spoke of her experiences with depression during her teens, saying that she eventually overcame the disorder without medication. In 2008, she began smoking after a stressful summer and the end of her relationship with Follieri. She has credited quitting smoking for the subsequent decline in her stress level and returned to being a vegetarian. Hathaway became a vegan in early 2012, but she quit in 2014.
Later, in October 2018, Hathaway also gave up alcohol and has since described herself as sober. Hathaway is a fan of the English Premier League football club Arsenal.
Hathaway married actor and businessman Adam Shulman on September 29, 2012, in Big Sur, California, in a traditional Jewish ceremony. In 2015, she suffered a miscarriage. Their first son was born in March 2016. That year, Hathaway purchased an apartment worth $2.55 million on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where she lives with Shulman and their sons. Hathaway and Shulman sold their wedding photo and donated its profits to same-sex marriage advocacy group Freedom to Marry. They also hosted Freedom to Marry’s National Engagement Party, an event which raised $500,000. In July 2019, Hathaway announced they were expecting their second child together, and spoke publicly about her difficulty conceiving. Their second son was born in November 2019.
The Princess Diaries, Brokeback Mountain, and The Devil Wears Prada
After graduating from high school in 2000, Hathaway began to pursue film work. Her big-screen debut came with The Princess Diaries (2001), in which she played Mia Thermopolis, a klutzy teenager who discovers that she is heir to a royal throne. In 2004 Hathaway starred in that movie’s sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and played another fairy-tale role in Ella Enchanted. Afraid of being typecast, Hathaway sought out more adult fare, and her next major part was in Ang Lee’s critically acclaimed Brokeback Mountain (2005). The drama, in which Hathaway played the wife of a cowboy (Jake Gyllenhaal) who is secretly in love with another man (Heath Ledger), was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture.
In 2006 Hathaway starred alongside Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt in the critically and commercially successful The Devil Wears Prada. Other notable performances included the lead role in Becoming Jane (2007), a fictionalized account of the life of author Jane Austen, and her portrayal of Kym, a recovering drug addict, in Rachel Getting Married (2008)—for which she earned her first Academy Award nomination. Hathaway further expanded her range with the romantic comedies Bride Wars (2009) and Valentine’s Day (2010). In 2010 she returned to her fairy-tale roots as the White Queen in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and portrayed a free-spirited woman afflicted with Parkinson disease in the romance Love and Other Drugs. She starred in the romantic drama One Day the following year.
The Dark Knight Rises, Les Misérables, and Interstellar
For The Dark Knight Rises (2012), the final installment in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, Hathaway inhabited the role of the crafty Catwoman. She later appeared in a 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables as the forlorn Fantine—the same role she had seen her mother play onstage when she was a child—and captured an Academy Award for best supporting actress. She provided the voice of a macaw in the animated Rio (2011) and its sequel, Rio 2 (2014). Hathaway then joined the ensemble cast of Nolan’s space drama Interstellar (2014), playing a scientist attempting to locate a habitable planet after Earth is rendered unlivable by war and famine. She returned to comedy with The Intern (2015), in which she was featured as a fashion entrepreneur who hires a retiree (Robert De Niro).
In 2016 Hathaway reprised her role as the White Queen in Alice Through the Looking Glass and portrayed a woman who discovers that she has a strange connection to a gigantic beast in the comedy Colossal. She garnered enthusiastic reviews for her performance as a self-absorbed actress in Ocean’s 8 (2018), a female-driven reboot of the Ocean’s Eleven franchise from the earlier 2000s. Her credits from 2019 included Serenity, a thriller in which her character solicits her ex-husband (Matthew McConaughey) to commit murder; the comedy The Hustle, about two rival con artists; Modern Love, an Amazon anthology series in which Hathaway appeared in an episode as a woman struggling with mental illness; and Dark Waters, a fact-based drama concerning a legal case about a chemical company’s alleged pollution of a community.
WeCrashed and The Idea of You
In 2020 Hathaway starred in both The Last Thing He Wanted, a crime drama based on a novel by Joan Didion, and the family comedy The Witches, an adaptation of aRoald Dahl children’s book. The following year Hathaway was cast in the heist film Locked Down and appeared in the sci-fi anthology TV series Solos. She later starred with Jared Leto in WeCrashed (2022), a TV miniseries about the rise and fall of WeWork, a company that promoted shared office space. Her other credits from 2022 include the family drama Armageddon Time, which centers on a six grader’s coming-of-age and addresses issues of privilege and racism.
