ANNE HATHAWAY
Age 25
Last Seen In The Devil Wears Prada and Becoming Jane
Career Box Office $878 million
Asking Price $5 million
Could she be the next Julia Roberts? It's a tall order, to be sure, but of all the contenders to the throne, Anne Hathaway may have the best shot. After being launched from obscurity as the star of Disney's $300 million worldwide-grossing Princess Diaries films, Hathaway deftly left the kiddie pool behind by polishing her acting chops (and, ahem, baring her chest) in the R-rated, Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain. Then she held her own against no less than Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. ''Annie's just going to keep going up and up,'' raves one studio exec. ''She can do anything.'' Well, almost. The doe-eyed gamine has one more mission before she can ascend to the next rung on the A-list ladder. ''She needs to appeal to men,'' says one producer. True enough. And playing a slinky secret agent with legs for days in Get Smart ain't a bad first step.
NEXT UP FOR ANNE HATHAWAY Get Smart, followed by Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married, opposite Debra Winger.
