Anne Hathaway to Star as Judy Garland
Is she crazy?
We don't think so. Anne Hathaway is slated to star as Judy Garland in the upcoming movie and Broadway production of Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland. But she's worried she's kind of crazy for accepting the role.
We think Anne Hathaway is perfect for the role of Judy Garland. But 26-year-old Hathaway says, "I think I’m either naive or insane to play her — maybe a little bit of both." Stop being so modest, Anne, we know you can do it!
Hathaway said she's going to talk to Liza Minelli, Judy Garland's daughter about the role for some inspiration, "I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it yet, but I understand that as long as I treat Judy with respect - which of course I will - Liza is very happy about it."
Get Happy is an especially unique look at Judy Garland's life because it uses some exclusive details from her own writings; details that haven't yet been revealed. Harvey Weinstein says of Anne Hathaway taking the role that he believes she will be, "a true class act in this challenging role." We agree and can't wait to see her starring as Judy Garland!
Do you remember how great her voice was when she sang in the opening number with Hugh Jackman at the Academy Awards this year? Here is the video. If you are impatient and just want to see Anne, fast forward to 4:30.
