ANNE HATHAWAY

AGE 25

BROKE OUT IN… The Princess Diaries, as klutzy-turned-polished royal Mia Thermopolis.

WHY HER Hathaway, who takes on edgy dramas (Brokeback Mountain) and bubbly comedies (The Devil Wears Prada) with equal verve, has a down-to-earth, every girl appeal (read: she’s not often caught clubbing) that has already drawn comparisons to the likes of a few established leading ladies (ahem, Julia Roberts).

WHAT’S NEXT She’s teaming up with Steve Carell for the secret agent satire Get Smart (June 20) and then switching genres with the horror flick Passengers (Sept. 5). Future projects include the dark comedy Dancing With Shiva and the wedding romp Bride Wars, alongside Kate Hudson.

In the world of fashion, we’re all seeing red.

Anne Hathaway, who will star in Warner Bros.’ summer comedy “Get Smart,” will be honored as female star of the year at ShoWest 2008.

Hathaway, who launched her film career with 2001’s “The Princess Diaries,” will be feted March 13 at an awards gala set to close ShoWest. The exhibition confab opens March 10 at the Bally’s and Paris hotels in Las Vegas.

“Since making her big-screen debut, (Hathaway) has gone on to engage audiences of all ages with a broad range of roles, which is quite a testament to this extremely talented young actress,” ShoWest co-managing director Mitch Neuhauser said. “From her roles as a naive young assistant in ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ a feisty cowgirl in ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ a Jane Austen heroine in ‘Becoming Jane’ and a reluctant princess in ‘The Princess Diaries’ and ‘The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement,’ Hathaway has proven to audiences that she can carry any role that comes her way.”

Hathaway stars opposite Steve Carell in “Get Smart,” set to open June 20.

She also recently completed production on the drama “Passengers,” co-starring Patrick Wilson and directed by Rodrigo Garcia, and the Jonathan Demme comedy “Dancing With Shiva,” co-starring Debra Winger.

Hathaway next begins work on the romantic comedy “Bride Wars.”

ShoWest is produced by the Nielsen Film Group, a unit of Nielsen Business Media, parent company of The Hollywood Reporter.
