Speaking with One Billion Rising Founder Eve Ensler, Hathaway explained, “It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that a billion women have been raped or beaten, just the enormity of that. When I was in college, I’d heard that one in four women would be raped, and I thought, God, that means I must know someone who was raped. Sure enough, I found out a week later that a friend had been. A billion is too big because one is too big.”

On her body issues, Hathaway admitted, “There’s no magic bullet; there’s no pill that you take that makes everything great and makes you happy all the time. I’m letting go of those expectations, and that’s opening me up to moments of transcendent bliss. But I still feel the stress over ‘Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?’... There’s an obsessive quality to it that I thought I would’ve grown out of by now. It’s an ongoing source of shame for me.”

At least Anne takes comfort in being married to the right man, Adam Shulman. “It’s wonderful. I feel like I’ve found my other half, and I’m so excited about getting to love him for the rest of our lives.”

No role, no matter how big is worth risking one's health, Anne Hathaway is so beautiful, so talented, this role she took on, granted she sounds like an Angel singing, who could have guessed her voice is as beautiful as she is, and she is amazing in this role, but she's amazing and so beautiful in every role, every movie she's been in. She's so painfully thin, too thin, she was tiny to begin with, one would think with all the technology the movie business would be able to make an actress/actor look thinner without risking their health.
