Anne Hathaway: ‘I Was Warned That My Career Would Fall Off a Cliff at the Age of 35,’ Which ‘A Lot of Women Face’
Anne Hathaway is 41 years old, which means she has long defied the warning she often heard as a teen actor that her career would not flourish past a certain age as a woman in Hollywood.“When I started out as a child, I was warned that my career would fall off a cliff at the age of 35, which is something I know a lot of women face,” Hathaway recently told Porter magazine.
“The thing that has evolved during [that time] is that more women are having careers deeper into their lives, which I think is fantastic.
Obviously, it doesn’t mean we should have a ticker tape parade — someone said this to me the other day: ‘There’s so much to be proud of and there’s so much to fix.'”Hathaway’s acting career kicked off in 2001 with the breakout success of Disney’s “The Princess Diaries,” which she filmed as a teenager.
