Anne Hathaway's first major position came in the short-lived television sequence Get Real(1999). She gained widespread recognition for her roles in The Princess Diaries (2001) and its 2004 sequel as a young girl who discover she's a member of royalty, oppositeJulie Andrews and Heather Matarazzo.

She also had a distinguished role in Nicholas Nickleby (2002) opposite Charlie Hunnam andJamie Bell, and a starring role in Ella Enchanted (2004). A former top-position soprano in New York, Hathaway was reportedly a front-runner for the role of "Christine" in the 2004The Phantom of the Opera (2004). However, due to scheduling conflicts with The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), she couldn't get the role, which was afterward given to newcomer Emmy Rossum.

Hathaway soon started to go away from friendly- family- films. Following The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), she appeared topless in the films Havoc (2005) opposite Josh Peck and Brokeback Mountain (2005) opposite Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Her wish 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. (1981) in order to split away from the image she created from her 1960s musicals. In interviews, Hathaway said that doing family-friendly films didn't mean she was alike to their characters or mean she objected to appear nude in other films.
