I want to like Anne Hathaway

But she keeps playing games with me.

The Princess Diaries (+1)
The Princes Diaries 2 (-1)
Then BAM BAM BAM with Havoc, Brokeback, The Devil Wears Prada and Becoming Jane.
And back to the ‘eh’ with Get Smart.

But finally, she says things like this and becomes that much easier to love

“I wanted a nose job, but now, my nose is what lets me change my face a lot - and I can be glamorous as Agent 99 (in Get Smart), then look rough as a drug addict for Jonathan Demme (director of her next film Rachel Getting Married). Your face needs to have character if you’re an actor - otherwise you’re just a face.”

so I'm getting there.

(*Anne's GAP ad portrait was used because it is her best. Ever. And Neoclassical grace is always noteworthy.)
