Born: 12 November 1982 Brooklyn, New York, USA 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.
