and Jacqueline Hathaway was born
November 12 1982 in Brooklyn New York
and grew up in New Jersey Hathaway
abandoned her plans to become a nun when
her older brother came out of the closet
and soon took after her mother by
deciding to perform Hathaways acting and
singing talents earned her a spot as the
first-ever teen in a prestigious theatre
program after getting on-screen practice
and commercials she landed her first TV
role in the family drama get real in
1999 while that show lasted less than a
year it was the boost Hathaways
burgeoning career needed by 2001 she
beat out over 500 other young actresses

Hathaways big break and it allowed her

do just a normal kind you know like
English Hathaway continued with
family-friendly releases including
Disney’s 2001 production the other side
of heaven the next year she joined a
star-studded cast in the Charles Dickens
adaptation Nicholas Nickleby every good
thing has paid trick until hail her
fairytale continued with Ella Enchanted
where she did some singing and in The
Princess Diaries – royal engagement
however after years of child-centric
projects Hathaways next move was to show
her audiences she was growing up she
appeared nude in 2005’s havoc well
that’s great footage huh and was praised
for her acting performance but it was
her part in that year’s controversial
Brokeback Mountain
that influenced her career most
significantly and convinced her to be
more selective with her projects
husbands don’t never see one advance
with their wives why do you think that
is dead the next year’s fashion heavy
The Devil Wears Prada was another career
highlight for Hathaway where she starred
alongside her childhood idol Meryl
Streep and before today you had never
heard of me no and you have no style or
sense of fashion well um I think that
depends on what sure you know it wasn’t
a question in 2007 she donned a British
accent to portray famed novelist Jane
Austen in becoming Jane when a young
woman such as yourself receives the
addresses from a gentleman such as my
nephew it is her duty to accept at once
but what do we find independent thought
2008 was the year she proved her range
as an actress after becoming a new face
for Lancome
she starred besides Steve Carell and the
successful remake of the 60 spy show Get
Smart
appeared in the failed thriller
passengers and made the gutsy choice to
play a rehab patient in Rachel getting
married
who do I have to be now I mean I could
be Mother Teresa it wouldn’t make a
difference what I did that film was such
a victory for the actress that she
earned nominations for both a Golden
Globe and an Oscar however her personal
life took a turn for the worse when her
longtime boyfriend was arrested for
fraud fortunately the self-effacing star
took the opportunity to mock the
situation when she hosted Saturday Night
Live later that year and also I broke up
with my Italian boyfriend in two weeks
later he was sent to prison for fraud
yeah
I mean we’ve all been there am i right
ladies

Mountain co-star Jake Gyllenhaal for

attempted to bring youth to the 83rd
Academy Awards as hosts alongside James
Franco while Hathaways performance was
praised the result was widely considered
the worst oscar cast in history you know
right it used to be you get naked you

her 2011 film one day didn’t redeem her
year but the computer animated flick Rio
was a hit cages might work for you but I
don’t want to belong to anyone

role of Catwoman in the final
installment of Christopher Nolan’s
blockbuster Batman trilogy The Dark
Knight Rises her next challenge was the
emotional adaptation of the musical
drama named me Zeb in which she was
required to sing live and cut her
signature long hair both roles made sure
