Anne Hathaway wanted to be a stage actress like her mother, and grew up playing children's roles at a respected New Jersey theater, the Paper Mill Playhouse. In 1999, she played a high school girl in the short-lived Fox TV drama Get Real. A year after that show was cancelled, Hathaway was picked to star opposite Julie Andrews in a Disney film, The Princess Diaries. She then starred in an adaptation of Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby, Ella Enchanted (another fluffy fairy tale), and a sequel to The Princess Diaries. By this time she was in danger of repeating Andrews' career mistake of becoming a "family film" brand name, so Hathaway made the decidedly more adult Havoc and Brokeback Mountain.
