Anne Hathaway

Born: 12 November 1982 Brooklyn, New York
Height: 5' 8"

Hathaway made her debut in 1999 in the television series Get Real, but her career was not established until she starred in the Disney comedy The Princess Diaries (2001) opposite Julie Andrews. The film was well-received by critics and its success established her career and popularity. In the following three years Hathaway continued appearing in Disney-directed films and had the lead role in Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (both 2004). Hathaway took more creative control over her career with her next projects and co-starred in the mature-themed Havoc and Brokeback Mountain (both 2005). After appearing in nude scenes in both, her contract with Disney was terminated. Her next film The Devil Wears Prada (2006), in which she starred opposite Meryl Streep, became the highest-grossing North American film of her career to date. Becoming Jane, her next film, is slated for release in 2007.

Havoc: The lives of wealthy teenagers living in Los Angeles whose exposure to "hip hop culture" inspires them to imitate the "gangsta lifestyle." Although, they soon run into trouble when they come face-to-face with a real gang of Latino drug dealers. After making her name in The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway takes a radical detour with this edgy independent drama. As Allie, a wealthy gangsta wannabe, she makes no excuses for her delinquent behavior: "We're just teenagers and we're bored." When her Pacific Palisades posse, including pal Emily (Bully's Bijou Phillips), starts hanging out with a Latino gang (including Six Feet Under's Freddy Rodríguez), they learn what thug life is really about. Hathaway couldn't be more game: She swears, she fights--she disrobes (several times). Written and directed by Oscar winners Stephen Gaghan (Traffic) and Barbara Kopple (American Dream), Havoc plays like a B movie, in the vein of the superior crazy/beautiful, and was released straight to video. For Hathaway fans, it's a chance to see this young talent in a very different light.
