Living in the Limelight: Anne Hathaway

                Growing up with films like Princess Diaries and Devil wears Prada; Anne Hathaway (Anne Jacqueline Hathaway) has been a part of my colorful teenage life. She taught female youngsters to dream about a Cinderella love story. I’m so impressed on how beautiful she is inside and out. The Emmy winning American actress was born on November 12, 1982. Her father, Gerald Thomas Hathaway, is a lawyer, and her mother, Kathleen Ann (née McCauley), is an actress who inspired Hathaway to follow in her footsteps. Beautiful Anne has really strong values and has stated that she wanted to be a nun during her childhood.

                She grew up in New Jersey. She has the same name with William Shakespeare’s wife and her closest friends call her Annie. She has a nice body because she’s a vegetarian. She often plays sassy, free-spirited women who attempt to remain independent. This was also considered to be her trademark which led her to success for the past twelve years in Hollywood. 

Everyone knows that Princess Diaries was her breakthrough role. She played as Mia Thermopolis which every female teenager loved. From the start, film makers new she’ll be a big star.  Here are some of her achievements which really testify that she’s a stardom: Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actress: Comedy in 2009, ranked #6 by InStyle magazine as one of the 10 most stylish stars in Hollywood (2007), chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#18) in 2007, was ranked #3 on Entertainment Weekly's '30 Under 30' the actress list, ranked #51 in FHM magazine's "100 Sexiest Women in the World 2008" supplement, ranked #5 on Askmen.com's 100 Most Desirable Women in the World in 2009, one of People Magazine's Most Beautiful People, and was ranked #2 on Glamour Magazine's Most Glamorous Women in the World list in 2009.

Despite of a wonderful life in the world of Hollywood, she still experienced a lot of ups and downs in her career life but it doesn’t stopped her to pave her way in being one of the greatest actress in the American history. Some of her most popular movies are Ella Enchanted, Brokeback Mountain, Rachel Getting Married, Love and Other Drugs and One Day. She amazed people because she’s the first and only teenager admitted to the acting program at the award-winning The Barrow Group in New York.  

We’ve seen a little bit of Anne’s broad life. Some of us have been inspired through the roles she plays and has learned a lot from it. As dreamers of a wonderful love story, Anne Hathaway has a reminder, “Kindness is really important to me in finding my own prince - so are patience and a sense of humor. Without those qualities he's no Prince Charming!”
