Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway (birthname: Anne Jacqueline Hathaway) has enjoyed a remarkably successful film career from the start, when she made her splashy debut in the Garry Marshall-directed The Princess Diaries (2001). Equally notable about the talented Hathaway, who has been rightly compared to Audrey Hepburn, is her evolution from playing nice, fresh-scrubbed characters to more worldly, complicated roles.
With The Princess Diaries (2001), Hathaway was paired with the legendary Julie Andrews, Hector Elizondo, Heather Matarazzo, and Mandy Moore; as a surprise box-office smash, it launched a sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), also with Andrews and again directed by Marshall, earning $135 million worldwide.
In between these two Disney hits, Anne Hathaway co-starred with Christopher Gorham in writer-director Mitch Davis’ The Other Side of Heaven (2001); writer-director Douglas McGrath’s Dickens adaptation for MGM and 20th Century Fox, Nicholas Nickleby (2002), starring Jamie Bell, Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtenay, Alan Cumming, Edward Fox, Charlie Hunnam, Juliet Stevenson, Timothy Spall, and Christopher Plummer; playing a vocal character in Hiroyuki Morita’s animated Japanese fantasy, The Cat Returns (2002); and Hathaway’s first above-the-title starring role in the fantasy comedy, Ella Enchanted (2004), with Hugh Dancy, Cary Elwes, Vivica A. Fox, and Minnie Driver.
Often overlooked in Anne Hathaway's filmography is the fact that she starred in the only narrative feature directed by documentary master Barbara Kopple, Havoc (2005), with Bijou Phillips, Michael Biehn, and Laura San Giacomo.
After Havoc—which was Hathaway’s actual first venture into serious film drama—she landed a coveted supporting role, as wife to Jake Gyllenhaal, in filmmaker Ang Lee’s landmark film, Brokeback Mountain (2005), based on Annie Proulx’s short story, co-starring Heath Ledger, Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, Randy Quaid, and Anna Faris, while earning over ten times its $14 million budget and winning three Oscars including Lee for Best Director.
Hathaway actually enjoyed a bigger career boost co-starring with the Oscar-nominated Meryl Streep in the hit comedy-drama, The Devil Wears Prada (2006), co-starring Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Adrien Grenier, and earning $326 million worldwide. Although criticized for her American-style portrayal of Jane Austen, Hathaway led the way in the Julian Jarrold-directed Becoming Jane (2007), with James McAvoy, Julie Walters, James Cromwell, and Maggie Smith. Switching gears, Hathaway had a lark as Agent 99 opposite Steve Carell in Get Smart (2008), with Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp, and James Caan, grossing a healthy three times its $80 million budget.
Anne Hathaway’s biggest artistic triumph to this point in her career came with the Jonathan Demme-directed Rachel Getting Married (2008), with a Best Actress Oscar nomination as confirmation, marking a more mature phase for the actor. Hathaway upped the sexy quotient in writer-director Gary Ross’s women-dominated Ocean’s 8 (2018), holding her own alongside stars Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, with Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter, and grossing nearly $300 million globally.
Following a disappointing result ($14 million global returns on a $25 million budget) and poor reviews for the mystery-thriller, Serenity (2019), co-starring Matthew McConaughey and Diane Lane, Anne Hathaway bounced back with the more profitable comedy remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) and Bedtime Story (1964), The Hustle (2019), co-starring Rebel Wilson, Dean Norris, and Tim Blake Nelson, withstanding poor reviews for a global return of over $97 million, over four times budget ($21 million).
Hathaway returned to serious drama under the sober-minded direction of Todd Haynes in the topical legal thriller, Dark Waters (2019), starring Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Bill Camp, Victor Garber, Mare Winningham, and Bill Pullman, and released by Focus Features. Despite the source material of a Joan Didion novel and a Sundance Film Festival premiere, plus a cast led by Hathaway, Willem Dafoe, Ben Affleck, Rosie Perez, and Toby Jones, the Dee Rees-directed political thriller, The Last Thing He Wanted (2020), became among the low-scoring Hathaway-starring movies on Rotten Tomatoes (5%) and Metacritic (35), with critics labeling it “incomprehensible.”
Following the digitally-released HBO Max movie remake of Nicolas Roeg’s 1990 film, The Witches (2020) starring Hathaway and originally intended for theatrical release by Warner Bros. but pulled due to the COVID pandemic, Hathaway took on a rom-com that used the pandemic to artistic advantage with Locked Down (2021), directed by Doug Liman and co-starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, and again released during COVID on HBO Max.
With writer-producer-director James Gray, Hathaway tackled one of her most dramatically important roles to date in Armageddon Time (2022), co-starring Jeremy Strong, Banks Repeta, and Anthony Hopkins, and premiering at the Cannes Film Festival. Hathaway starred in the first feature adaptation of an Ottessa Moshfegh novel, Eileen (2023), directed by William Oldroyd, and co-starring Thomasin McKenzie, Jefferson White, Marin Ireland, and Shea Whigham, followed by writer-director Rebecca Miller’s music-based rom-com, She Came to Me (2023), with Peter Dinklage and Marisa Tomei.
Hathaway shared top-billing with Jessica Chastain in the Benoit Delhomme-directed family drama, Mothers’ Instinct (2024), with Josh Charles and Anders Danielsen Lie, and then starred in the Michael Showalter-directed feature set during the Coachella festival, The Idea of You (2024), based on Robinne Lee’s novel and produced by Amazon Studios.
Anne Hathaway joined director/writer/producer David Lowery for the U.S./German psychosexual drama, Mother Mary (2026), co-starring Michaela Coel, with Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Isaura Barbe-Brown, Alba Baptista, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs, and which was released wide by A24. Hathaway reunited with co-star Meryl Streep and director David Frankel for the long-awaited sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026), with Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, and Stanley Tucci, produced by Wendy Fineman and released by 20th Century Studios.
Hathaway then took on the role of Odysseus’s wife Penelope in director/writer/producer Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (2026), starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel and Mia Goth, produced (with Nolan) by Emma Thomas, and released wide by Universal Pictures. Hathaway starred with Ewan McGregor in director/writer/producer David Robert Mitchell’s sci-fi drama, The End of Oak Street (2026), with J.J. Abrams as a lead producer, with Maisy Stella, Christian Convery, and Jordan Alexa Davis, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Anne Hathaway was the star-producer of the Colleen Hoover adaptation, Verity (2026), co-starring Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, with Michael Showalter as director/producer, Nick Antosca as screenwriter, and released by Amazon MGM Studios. Hathaway co-starred with Adam Driver in director/producer Ron Howard’s war drama, Alone at Dawn (date to be announced), based on Dan Schilling’s and Lori Longfritz’s 2019 biography, with Betty Gilpin, Jon Bass, Rohan Campbell, and Devon Bostick, with Imagine Entertainment as a lead producer and Amazon MGM Studios as distributor.
