Anne Hathaway, an Audry Hepburn lookalike?


Anne Hathaway’s initial claim to fame was her role in Disney’s The Princess Diaries in 2001. Then, in 2005, she played alongside Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain. Meryl Streep took Hathaway under her wing in 2006 with The Devil Wears Prada. More recently, she played a cat burglar in the Dark Knight Rises (2012) and the role of Fantine in Cameron Macintosh’s Les Miserables (2012).

Here is an actress who has proven her acting skills across multiple genres over the years. Her doleful eyes and contagious smile has added warmth and genuineness to each role she has played. And, might I add, her sophistication and grace is reminiscint of Audry Hepburn. Why then do so many people in showbiz seem to “hate” her? Probably because she is THAT good, that why!
