Anne Hathaway is an American film and stage actress who captured the public's attention with her 2001 role in the Disney family comedy, The Princess Diaries. After starring in several more Disney films she found herself a role model for young people as well as a star. Her popularity continued even with more grown-up roles such as her performance in Brokeback Mountain, and her 2006 appearance in The Devil Wears Prada was an even greater success. People Magazine named her one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" that year. However, it wasn't until she began doing charity work with the Follieri Foundation, founded by her boyfriend, that she realized something important had been missing from her life. The Follieri Foundation provides medical assistance for children who live in third world countries, and Anne Hathaway has made several trips to volunteer with the organization.

Anne Hathaway has the classic movie star type of name and the classic movie star beauty to match. She burst onto the scene in 2001 with her star-making performance in the box-office smash The Princess Diaries. She followed that up with appearances in such family-friendly movies as 2002’s Nicholas Nickleby and 2004’s Ella Enchanted, and subsequently shattered that image with a risqué and distinctly R-rated performance in 2005’s Havoc. Anne has ... lent her voice to a pair of feature-length animations, 2002’s The Cat Returns and 2005’s Hoodwinked! Her performance in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain proved that she’s more than just a pretty face and solidified her status as a serious actress.

Anne Hathaway established herself as an exceedingly talented musical performer, and there’s little doubt that the pinnacle of her singing career came when she performed at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall. Anne’s passion for acting won out... and she landed her first professional gig just a few days after her Carnegie Hall appearance. Get Real was a short-lived 1999 FOX comedy in which Anne played a recurring character over four episodes, alongside such now-familiar faces as Mila Kunis, Taryn Manning and Christina Milian. The demise of the series proved to be a boon for Anne Hathaway, as she was subsequently cast as Mia Thermopolis in a new Disney comedy entitled The Princess Diaries. The film, released in 2001, became an instant hit at the box office, and essentially transformed Anne Hathaway into an overnight superstar.
