One would assume that after Anne Hathaway’s success in her roles in “The Princess Diaries,” “Brokeback Mountain” and “The Devil Wears Prada,” the 24-year-old would be not only mentally prepared, but confident, about her new role as the infamous Jane Austen. She openly claims she is anything but self-assured for the task at hand.
“NEW YORK - Forget her triumph in The Princess Diaries, her critically acclaimed performance in Brokeback Mountain, her success in holding her own against the formidable Meryl Streep in last year’s The Devil Wears Prada. None of these things matter when you ask Anne Hathaway to assess the current state of her career.
“I’m horrifically insecure,” she says with a nervous laugh. “I’m genuinely surprised that I keep getting asked back. I’m still operating in a world where I’m 14 years old and dreaming of being an actress in New Jersey. … I didn’t know this was possible.” “
