It’s Anne Hathaway‘s birthday! Today, November 12, the beloved actress turns 38 years old, and we cannot believe everything that Anne has accomplished over the course of her career. Anne has truly conquered nearly every facet of film. She can do comedy, drama, musicals, and has an Oscar to boot! To celebrate Anne’s birthday, we’re looking back on her marvelous career and everything she’s accomplished.
Longtime fans of Anne know her best as an early aughts Disney darling. In 2001, the actress got her big break as Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries. Anne starred opposite living legend Dame Julie Andrews — no pressure, right? — in the movie, and went on to reprise her role in the 2004 sequel. That same year, Anne stole audience’s hearts as Ella in Ella Enchanted. But a few short years later, Anne would shed her innocent Disney persona for far more mature roles.
Anne followed up her Oscar-nominated work with romance films like One Day and Love & Other Drugs before taking on the coveted role of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in The Dark Knight Rises. That same year, Anne wowed audiences and critics alike with her vulnerable performance as Fantine in the movie musical Les Misérables. For her transcendent performance, Anne won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role at the 2013 Academy Awards.
