Is a discussion of the actress's topless roles really relevant? It comprises roughly a third of her career section. Why are her topless roles so meritous of mention, compared to most other actresses? --Dbarefoot 04:34, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Which roles has she been 'enthusiastically' pursuing? That is, what evidence is there of her film selection process? I think 'Havoc' has a lot of nudity in it, but as I recall, she had one brief scene in 'Brokeback Mountain'. I can't speak to her two new films coming out this season. Regardless, I think the nudity is overemphasized in the context of the Career section, and unnecessarily crass. I'd propose something along the lines of: "Hathaway soon moved away from family films. Following Princess Diaries 2, she had supporting roles in R-rated films Havoc and Brokeback Mountain. Her desire to break out of her Princess Diaries image parallels that of her one-time co-star, Julie Andrews, who went topless in the film S.O.B. in order to break away from the image she created from her 1960s musicals." --Dbarefoot 17:42, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the nudity is relevant, but after just skimming the article I've seen it mentioned at least twice; it is relevant on the section that examines her changing career but it certainly isn't needed in the introductory paragraph, it just looks out of place. Will be removing the first mention later when I log in 86.134.120.185 12:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Explaining the changes I'm making:

This Never Mystic person persists in reverting everyone else who changes "homosexual" to "gay," without justifying himself in this discussion page. As far as I can tell, he is in a minority of one and should cease and desist, or else we should get an admin here to stop his edit war vandalism. He is violating Wikipedia's rules of consensus.
I have interviewed Anne for a major magazine, and she is not only charmingly, avowedly pro-gay, she makes a point of using the word gay over and over. NeverMystic, get over your personal issues. Aroundthewayboy 08:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
This dispute was resolved per this comment. Never Mystic (tc) 22:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Is it Whitney or "Anne Jacqueline Hathaway"? IMDB changed it to Jacqueline now. Annoying. Mad Jack 18:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
It's Jacqueline. She said it during an interview with MovieFone's Unscripted in 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnieHFan (talk • contribs) 15:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm impressed with the number of references; I least expected it to be as untidy as others. This means that anybody who wants to help me with improvements has an essential foundation. It's unlikely that Hathaway has appeared in any novels, indicating that the vast majority of references are going to be web-based. Whether Wikipedia favours this or not, I don't know. But as long as we've got the bulldozer in operation, we'll be all right. I send my thanks to the user who already submitted a peer review. The article's quality will become better; we can't have Hathaway hanging here (at least not in my opinion). Never Mystic 23:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I've added two new images with accurate and proper fair use rationale; some of the magazine's content has been introduced into the article; unsourced allegations have been removed until a later date. I plan on nominating this at WP:GA within the next few days and hope that others could collaborate on this project. I'm going to expand Hathaway's early career tomorrow. Never Mystic (tc) 02:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I've stumbled on a source that claims The Other Side of Heaven was in fact filmed before The Princess Diaries, but the latter was released first in hopes of The Other Side of Heaven becoming a big hit. This didn't happen, but does anyone else know if this is factual? I'm also preparing to add more material to the article. Never Mystic (tc) 23:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
It won't get GA with Image:Anne Hathaway.jpg. It doesn't have a source (immediate no-no), and there's no evidence it's a true promopic per Wikipedia:Publicity photos. The JPStalk to me 20:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I am currently reviewing this article for GA status and would like one of the editors look at this line in the section Career transitions
"and believes that her nude scene in Brokeback Mountain was the definitive moment in which her career changed paces to darker roles."
The reference tag (currently #21) directs to a blog (not the best from a WP:RS point of view) that doesn't seem to say that she considered her brokeback role "darker". I'm going to put an on-hold tag and write up a more fuller reviewer for you. Agne 05:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
After my initial readings, I thought there was only a few "quick fix" issues that could be done to get the article to GA status. However, with a more thorough follow up, I think there is more then what is normally appropriate for an "on-hold". But since I already tagged, I will give the article's editors the normally 7 day period to address the concerns listed below before I fully submit the GA review. Here is how the article currently stack up to the Good Article Criteria
1. It is well written. - Needs Improvement
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. - Needs Improvement
3. It is broad in its coverage. - Needs Improvement
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy - Pass
5. It is stable - Pass
6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. - Pass
I will check back on this article and give it a week's time to see if the above concerns have been addressed. If you have any questions, reply on this talk page and I will respond. Agne 06:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I think I've remedied most of your concerns. There is still some work I need to complete, however. What do you think? Never Mystic (tc) 16:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I found some information on Hathaway's charity work! If anybody finds any questionable references or writing, please comment it out (<!-- -->). Thanks. Never Mystic (tc) 20:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree. I apologize for the delay in getting back to the article. RL kept me busy. Agne 12:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Does one have a reference for her upcoming appearance in this film? Never Mystic (tc) 16:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
There's a free image here, but it's going to need to cropping and lightening. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Uh. Anyone else think the street address referenced in the article is probably named not after her, but Shakespeare's wife? For some reason that seems more plausible. It needs to be cited or removed. $nf->{'user'}; $nf->{'talk'};

The Nicholas Nickelby link does not go to the movie in which she was in, it goes to the article for the BBC TV movie. Missjessica254 20:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Intro says "actress and singer", but she's not famous for her singing at all. It looks as though she was in choir in high school, but it doesn't make sense to describe her as a singer any more than it would to describe her as a "basketball player" if she was on the team in high school. I removed the offending words. Jtradke (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
At the "Guys Choice Award" on SPIKE TV (airing June 2008), Anne Hathaway took the microphone to speak a few sentences, which include the words "motherfucking" and "fucking." Apparently, these words were scripted in as part of a vain effort at humor (the level of SPIKE TV is juvenile). Still, Hathaway's choice to say anything in front of a microphone didn't speak well for her intelligence and judgment.
There are strong rumors that Anne Hathaway has since become involved in a lesbian relationship with her co-star, Emily Blunt, the red-haired co-secretary, of Meryl Streep's devilish boss, in the movie, Devil Wears Prada.
I think that this should be part of the Wiki.
Well, this rumor does seem to have more and more legs all the time. The only thing I've personally seen so far though, was a blind item on Page Six that doesn't actually seem that blind. The insinuation is that those who know, know she's at least having an intimate relationship with a recent female co-star, who's more known as being a lesbian (supposedly Emily Blunt or Heather Matarazzo). If so, a same sex relationship wouldn't necessarily make Anne a lesbian, however. There's such a thing as bisexuality.
Has she directly dismissed these rumors? If she has been evasive, then I guess that could be noteworthy. It depends on whether wiki policy is to state everyone is heterosexual until proven otherwise. That's not too kind to those who aren't though. - 70.107.138.51 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 05:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Just leave it alone. She laughed about this on the David Letterman Show, kind of showing how ridiculous it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnieHFan (talk • contribs) 14:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
To 66.185.84.80 who keeps deleting the image from the article. Thank you for explaining why you keep deleting it: you say you need an image with just Hathaway in it. Your intentions are laudable, however since we don't have an image with just Hathaway, we'll just have to make do with what we have. Once we have an image with just Hathaway, you can replace the cover image of the The Princess Diaries DVD. Until then, please stop reverting the article--wait until you have a new image to link to.
Also, please get an account. Communicating with an IP address is so impersonal. :-) An account gives you more privacy, not less. Also please follow the guidelines for submitting images (i.e. don't upload copyrighted images lifted from the Internet). Since getting a public domain or GFDL licensed image of Hathaway will be tricky, I again assert we should leave the current image until a suitable replacement can be located & uploaded. — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:30, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)
In addition to the "Jewish, American, and English" mentioned in the article, Miss Hathaway has Irish ancestry, with (according to an interview she gave while promoting Ella Enchanted) roots in Donegal and Cork. Furthermore, the "American" designation is of limited informational value -- for example, the skater Kristi Yamaguchi and the filmmaker Woody Allen are both "American," despite having widely different ethnic backgrounds. El Draque 03:40, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone have a good link for her being of "Irish, English and Jewish" ancestry? I'm usually on top of these things and I just have not been able to find a single source to confirm that. I see there's an interview where she mentions some of her Irish roots, but does anyone know about Englisn and Jewish?
Here is the Irish reference, btw: "Hathaway's heritage actually goes back Ireland, and in particular, Cork and Donegal.
"On my father's side, we have relatives all over Cork and Donegal. Ireland is such an amazing country, and I have this little dream in the back of my head that someday I'll end up living there. When I've established myself in America, and I don't need to live near the action, so to speak. If you're good, the work will come to you. I feel very Irish; maybe that's why I've been so lucky with my career." " wow.ie/cinema/index.php?view_ film_interview=1&interview_id=2213 Vulturell 08:02, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Does Anne really have six toes on her right foot? Check this out. Spooky! Can anyone verify if this is really the case? 24.199.113.234 08:49, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I keep trying to add this page vut it's deleted every timne. Why? http://annehathawayvideos.blogspot.com/ If it is spam say so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Funofthehoo (talk • contribs) 11:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
It says that hathaway has been in high consideration to play Belle in the live action Beauty And the Beast. Is this true? Are they even going to make a beauty and the beast live action? Headstrong 345 (talk) 23:55, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Headstrong 345
I did hear on the radio that they are in talks and discussing a script and songs but I'm not sure if that would count as a reliable source. Headstrong 345 (talk) 02:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Headstrong 345
Why exactly does Wikipedia cite this utterly useless, completely opinionative "fact"? What's the importance of mentioning that an actor was named by some magazine as the sexiest man alive, or that an actress was on the list of most beautiful people? Not only is it merely an opinion, but it's also a meaningless one. Shouldn't these little worthless trivia be deleted from an encyclopedia?--SlightlyInsane (talk) 21:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
That infobox image is truly awful; something else is desperately needed! Ashley {talkback} 02:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
I am not sure if the category for Anne Hathaway is right. Maybe she is more qualified as pescetarian. Here is what she said
Us Weekly “I basically stuck with fruit, vegetables and fish (to slim down for the movie). I wouldn’t recommend that. Emily Blunt and I would clutch at each other and cry because we were so hungry". See under the article of Emily Blunt
I was complaining about something being removed, but it was just moved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikintosh (talk • contribs) 19:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
We all know she's sexy, attractive, and hot, but that doesn't belongs to an encyclopedia. Removed it. I'm surprised no one noticed it earlier. Dskzero (talk) 05:45, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Bad sentence - I would change, but I don't know what it means.
'Hathaway said that working on the film earned her respect in the fashion industry, but she claims that her personal style is something she "can't get right"[16] and instead prefers "doing the things she loves."[16]'

The page has two contradicting info. So, is it Brooklyn on Michigan? Mhym (talk) 03:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC) She was born in Brooklyn & rasied in NJ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnieHFan (talk • contribs) 15:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I've got concerns about what seems to me to be an effort to whitewash something like when and where and how much Hathaway smoked. It's a relatively trivial issue overall, but it's obvious that varying sources, all of which contain quotes directly from Hathaway, contradict one another. Essentially, at some point, she was a non-smoker. Then she began smoking. Statements at some places were that she was worried about how her smoking would appear in the Rachel film. Statements other places, which are the most recent, say that she had been a secret smoker, had quit, then started again this past summer during the boyfriend issues. I've been trying to find the exact date that filming started on the Rachel film, but haven't found it yet. It could have been as far back as a year ago, which is a long time relative to the issue. Obviously, none of the sources say when the secret smoker part started, or if it was something that continued after Rachel filming ended, then she stopped. It's a bit ambiguous as in time frames. The point of the whole section is that she had some habits which she felt were bad, and she has recently made an effort to make her life more healthy. In any case, I feel the current version best reflects all of this. If the anonymous editor and the various newer accounts which have shown up to support the IP have a better suggestion for wording, bring it up here, not in the edit summaries. Otherwise, either let it go or I'll take it up elsewhere. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
The article says "Hathaway had learning disabilities and couldn't make friends" and then a few paragraphs on talks of her intelligence and that she jumped some classes at school. I'm guessing the learning disabilities thing is vandalism, but it is possible, if it's something like dyslexia, to have a disability and be very intelligent and academically successful. Any one know if it's true or not? 86.2.38.112 (talk) 09:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Someone is proposing to move the pages called Anne Hathaway. See Talk:Anne Hathaway (disambiguation)#Requested move. Sam5 (talk) 16:36, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I have uploaded a new image of Hathaway at Wikimedia Commons (File:AnneHathawayAAFeb09.jpg). The image looks like it can be included with the article, but the eyes need to be touched up. I'm busy uploading other images right now, and if anybody wants to fix the eyes and re-upload it feel free. --Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 21:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I added a clarifyme tag and someone removed it, saying that it's clear. It's not.
The article, as it was when I found it and as it is now, says: "She credited the decline in her stress level to quitting smoking."
According to the person who removed my tag, this is correct and she quit smoking because her stress level declined. If this is so, then the statement is wrong. It should be:
"She credited her quitting smoking to the decline in her stress level."
As it was written, quitting smoking lowered her stress level—unlikely.
I'm correcting the article. Jeff Muscato (talk) 00:30, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
