Early Career and "The Princess Diaries"

Hathaway landed one of her first major professional roles in the television series "Get Real," which aired from 1999 to 2000. Her breakthrough came almost immediately afterward when she was cast as Mia Thermopolis in Disney's "The Princess Diaries."

Released in 2001 and co-starring Julie Andrews, "The Princess Diaries" grossed approximately $165 million worldwide and transformed the teenage Hathaway into a movie star. She followed it with "The Other Side of Heaven," "Ella Enchanted," and the commercially successful 2004 sequel "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement."

Determined not to remain typecast as a family-film actress, Hathaway began pursuing more mature material. She appeared in "Havoc" and then played Lureen Newsome in Ang Lee's Oscar-winning 2005 drama "Brokeback Mountain."

"The Devil Wears Prada" and Critical Success

Hathaway's transition to adult stardom was completed with 2006's "The Devil Wears Prada." Playing aspiring journalist Andy Sachs opposite Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly, Hathaway helped propel the film to more than $325 million at the worldwide box office. The movie became one of the defining films of her career.

She followed with "Becoming Jane," portraying novelist Jane Austen, and appeared in films including "Get Smart," "Bride Wars," and "Valentine's Day."

One of Hathaway's most acclaimed performances came in Jonathan Demme's 2008 drama "Rachel Getting Married." Her portrayal of a recovering addict returning home for her sister's wedding earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

She joined Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, and others in the ensemble heist film "Ocean's 8" in 2018. Hathaway subsequently appeared in "Serenity," "The Hustle," and the legal drama "Dark Waters" in 2019.

Her work in the 2020s included "The Witches," "Locked Down," and James Gray's "Armageddon Time." She also played WeWork co-founder Rebekah Neumann opposite Jared Leto in the 2022 miniseries "WeCrashed."
