Anne Hathaway has proven that she is the perfect fit for any role. Be it comedy or drama, she can work it all. But this was not the case always. When she started acting, she first gained public attention with her movie – The Princess Diaries. She was typecast as a charming, innocent young girl who got her other Disney movies like – Ella Enchanted and The Devil Wears Prada. She broke out of this typecast with her role in the 2012 movie – Les Miserables. This role was quite an intense one and required her to shave off her hair and even sing in the movie. She received a lot of appreciation for her role and because of this started getting offers of much more bolder and complex roles like those in the movie – Interstellar. She entered the sector of action with her role as cat woman in The Dark Knight Rises and even has experience in comedy with movies like – The Hustle and Oceans Eight.
