Anne Hathaway has been a household name all over the world for over 20 years, but as of late, her name has been in the headlines more than ever before.
As an actress in the early 2000s, Hathaway’s name was everywhere. In 2001, she starred in the hit Disney movie, The Princess Diaries. Then, in 2004, she starred in its sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement along with the movie Ella Enchanted. In 2006, she was the main character in the blockbuster hit The Devil Wears Prada opposite Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt, and those are just three of her most well-known roles.
She has had a slew of other movies in the past 20 years that span all different kinds of genres, such as the romance movie Love and Other Drugs, Interstellar for sci-fi, The Dark Knight Rises taking home the action, and Bride Wars in the rom-com category.
Her upcoming movie falls into the sci-fi category. As of the publication date of this article, Hathaway’s next movie, Flowervale Street, is set to come out on May 16, 2025, co-starring with Ewan McGregor.
On March 16 of this year, the movie The Idea of You dropped on Amazon’s Prime Video, and this started the resurgence of Anne Hathaway.
In the months following, it was revealed that there would be additions to both The Princess Diaries series and a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, with production on the latter starting November 30, according to “Production List.”
In the past week, there have been numerous articles reporting on the fact that Hathaway is set to star as the lead in the movie adaptation of the New York Times Bestselling book “Verity” by Colleen Hoover.
Many of her fans are divided on this news following the controversy and drama following the behind-the-scenes of the It Ends With Us movie adaptation by the same author. However, her fans are holding out hope for her in anticipation that the movie will succeed.
Hathaway does not just act, though, she sings as well.
In 2012, she played Fantine in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables, for which she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
On TikTok, a clip of her and Hugh Jackman’s opening musical number for the Oscars in 2009 has been going viral because of how unexpected it was. Many people in the audience were taken aback by how well she could sing, which just goes to show that most people know her for her acting, not singing.
However, Hathaway does tend to focus primarily on acting. She has only been in a handful of musical roles like Les Miserables and Ella Enchanted.
Hathaway has a total of over 100 award nominations, but most of the awards that she has been awarded are for the roles that she sang for. For just Les Miserables, she won an Academy Award, Oscar, BAFTA award, and a Screen Actors Guild award. Coming after Les Miserables, the second movie that she has won the most awards for is the 2008 movie Rachel Getting Married, which may shock some people because of the lack of popularity surrounding the film.
Overall, Anne Hathaway has had a successful career in both the acting and singing industries and likely has much more success to come with the developments and productions she has coming out soon that will entertain and dazzle fans.
