Scroll below to see some of her greatest roles to date.
Here are Anne Hathaway’s best film performances:
The Devil Wears Prada
The mother of all chick flicks, The Devil Wears Prada is one of Hathaway’s strongest suits. We would be remiss if we didn’t talk about this iconic film. Showcasing what it’s like to have a job “a million girls would kill for”, this film follows Andy, a young graduate who starts working as an assistant to one of the city’s biggest magazine editors, Miranda Priestly. To top it off, this film also sees iconic actors such as Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep.
The Princess Diaries
The film that started it all, The Princess Diaries needs no introduction. This regal, funny and fun film follows Mia, a bushy-browed shy teen who discovers that she’s in fact, the princess of Genovia. Now, for her to claim the throne she must adjust her life and prove that she is indeed well suited to be an heir.
Interstellar
A little different from her usual manner of chick flicks, Interstellar is one of her best films yet. In this Christopher Nolan film, we see a shift in Hathaway’s career, showcasing that she can do it all. She is seen acting as a researcher in the film who has to find a new planet for humans to live on after Earth becomes uninhabitable.
The Dark Knight Rises
Acting as Catwoman, Hathaway works with Bruce Wayne in this film to stop the disruption and terrorist attacks against Gotham City. A role she’s never played before, Hathaway is seen being sultry, strong and powerful in this role — something entirely different from her other greatest performances.
Les Misérables
Showcasing her voice, Hathaway proves yet again that she can do no wrong. In this musical, we see a different side of the actress, and we love it. In this film, Hathaway is seen leaving her daughter in the hands of Jean Valjean, as an escaped convict who gets caught in a political uprising in Paris.
Ocean’s Eight
Starring a magical cast of women from Sandra Bullock to Rihanna, Cate Blanchett and of course, Anne Hathaway, this film sees the actress being a part of a crew to steal a diamond necklace, worth 150 million dollars from the Met Gala.
One Day
If you’re looking to bawl your eyes out, then add this Hathaway film to your list. Based on the novel of the same name, this heartbreaking movie follows Dexter and Emma who decide to meet every year on 15 July and see where they stand in life. However, down the road, they find themselves falling deeply in love with each other, even when obstacles lie ahead.
The Intern
Lighthearted and funny, The Intern is an underrated film which stars the Hollywood icon. In this movie, Hathaway plays Jules Ostin, a CEO of a company who is reluctant to hire a 70-year-old intern. It’s the perfect Friday night film to watch if you’re looking for something easy to watch.
The Idea of You
A billionaire rockstar, chance encounter and forbidden love — what more could you ask for? Generating a ton of buzz, Hathaway’s latest romantic comedy, The Idea of You, is all the talk right now. Hathaway plays Soléne, a 39-year-old single mom who starts an epic romance with a 24-year-old heartthrob who is a part of one of the hottest boy bands in the world.
