Biography

Anne Hathaway was born on November 12, 1982, in Brooklyn, New York. As the daughter of a labor lawyer father and an ex-theatre actress mother, she grew up in New Jersey and followed her mother's footsteps by developing an interest in acting. She began her professional career with the television series "Get Real" (1999), but achieved her major breakthrough with the role of Mia Thermopolis in Garry Marshall's Disney comedy "The Princess Diaries" (2001). This role, followed by "Ella Enchanted" (2004), established her as a global youth idol. Shedding her childlike image to take on adult roles, she transitioned with Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" (2005) and particularly in the box-office record-breaker "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006), which satirizes the fashion world and features her opposite Meryl Streep. Her performance as a troubled woman with a history of drug addiction in Jonathan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married" (2008) earned her widespread critical acclaim and her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She continued her success in romantic comedies with "Love & Other Drugs" (2010).

In the 2010s, Hathaway reached the peak of her career, proving her success in the action genre by bringing the character of Catwoman to life in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012). In the same year, her electrifying performance as Fantine in Tom Hooper's musical "Les Misérables" earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Oscar), a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA. She became one of Hollywood's most profitable and sought-after actresses with box office successes such as the sci-fi epic "Interstellar" (2014), which she co-starred in with Robert De Niro, the drama "The Intern" (2015), and the heist film "Ocean's 8" (2018). In recent years, turning her attention to television and digital platforms, the actress continues to showcase both her acting and producing talents in projects such as the series "WeCrashed" (2022), which she co-starred in with Jared Leto, and the romantic drama that garnered significant attention, "The Idea of You" (2024), as well as the psychological thriller "Mothers' Instinct" (2024).

Hathaway, who also serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality, is engaged in work on gender equality.
