In honor of Anne Hathaway’s 41st birthday, look back at photos of the actress from her early days in the spotlight to now!

Anne Hathaway, born November 12, 1982, is an Oscar-winning actress. Anne got her big break in the early aughts, playing Mia Thermopolis in the Disney film ‘The Princess Diaries’ and its 2004 sequel. From there, Anne shed her Disney persona and went on to play more mature roles.

In the mid-2000s, Anne starred in films like, ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ ‘Becoming Jane,’ ‘Get Smart,’ and more. By 2008, she earned her first Oscar nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for the film ‘Rachel Getting Married’ before finally earning her first Oscar for her Best Supporting Actress performance in 2012’s ‘Les Miserables.’

Anne has seriously conquered everything from comedy to drama, musicals, and more over the course of her career. To see more photos of Anne Hathaway through the years, check out the rest of the gallery by scrolling through the images below!
