Landing the role of Mia Thermopolis in the 2001 Disney comedy Princess Diaries literally changed Anne Hathaway’s life overnight.
Anne was then known as the squeaky clean Disney princess to her adoring legion of pre-teen fans. She followed up the success of Princess Diaries with the sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and the family-friendly Ella Enchanted.
Just as critics were starting to doubt whether the beauty had enough talent to make the transition into more serious roles, Anne then signed on for the controversial western drama Brokeback Mountain, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.

Who knew too much hair could lead to wider hips? Anne’s smart enough to dump her con man of a boyfriend but not wise enough to pick out a nice dress? Makes no sense.
