Did you know?!
Big break
Hathaway was cast as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries after director Garry Marshall's granddaughters told him she had the best princess hair; Liv Tyler had been considered for the part.
A role that slipped away
In 2003, the part of Christine Daaé in Joel Schumacher's The Phantom of the Opera went to someone else because Hathaway said no; the film's production schedule overlapped with The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
Big break
Hathaway auditioned for The Dark Knight Rises without knowing which part she was up for, thinking it was Harley Quinn, and only learned she was playing Selina Kyle after talking with Christopher Nolan for an hour.
A first
Hathaway's last movie that year was Colossal (2016), a science fiction black comedy by Nacho Vigalondo with Jason Sudeikis. She played an unemployed young writer and was the first actress to sign on when the project had no financial backing.
Beyond film
Hathaway's version of the song "I Dreamed a Dream" climbed to number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2013.
Early training
In 1993 Hathaway studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She was the first teenager to be admitted into the acting program of the Barrow Group Theater Company.
