Anne Jacqueline Hathaway

Brooklyn, New York, U.S.

The American actress became famous for her role in the Disney comedy, The Princess Diaries. She is mainly of Irish and French ancestry but also she has distant German and Native American ancestry and mentioned this in an article on News.com.au.
Hathaway also stated that the reason why she has a very pale complexion is because she tries to avoid being in the sun as her family has a long and tragic history of skin cancer.

I think some of these white folks have black in them and they just don’t know it.

Why the fuck is she real pale with dark eyes and hair? Use blue eye contacts and dye your hair blonde, bitch.

Arf. Blonde hair would wash her out. I hope something washes out “Isabelle”.

her native american ancestory is probably quite distant as she is very pale but i might be mistaken…

She is very pale because her family has a history of skin cancer and she avoids being in the sun.

how about you just deal with it. She’s fine as she is, just as God made her. Why does she have to run and bleach her hair, and stick some blue pieces of plastic in her eyes ….just to make YOU happy? huh…please. I think you’re directing the B-word at the wrong person. Try rotating that arrow 180 degrees.

Gotta agree with Char. She just wouldn’t be herself if she had blonde hair. And besides, she has hazel eyes, not brown and they’re way prettier than blah blue.

okay iether she has english heritage aswell or her family changed there second to english when moving to america because anne hathaway is the name of shakespeares wife and hathaway is a common english name
January 30th, 2010
i always loved anne hathaway’s complexion. it really makes her unique. i hope she keeps her brunette hair color.

@ Nathan: Hathaway is not an English surname, it’s Welsh.
Her family might have changed it, she listed her heritage and the only British in her is Northern Irish. Her Irish heritage comes from Donegal and Cork, apparently.
January 31st, 2010
Oh, and there were Welsh people who settled in Ireland during the plantations, but that was ages ago, so she probably wouldn’t count Welsh anyway. :]

well, i think shes pretty though. I think blonde hair WOULDNT fit her, blue eyes would be kinda freaky…
February 3rd, 2010
Blonde hair wouldn’t look that great on her, but I don’t think blue eyes would be that bad. She has a very normal look, but it makes her look really pretty. :o
I think she looks Irish. (:
February 6th, 2010
i am imagining her in blue eyes, but i cant…maybe she doesnt fit it or my head is full of imaginary crap. I literally think its my second choice. yup.
February 8th, 2010
that is very distant NA… skin cancer my butt…. i have nothing aginst anne hathaway, but everyone has a natural minimul skin tone that will never change even if u do stay out of the sun…… im a seminole native and if i stay out of the sun for a year i get pale for me which is tan for white people. she should still be a lil tan if she was NA……. and isabitch blue contacts dont show up on dark eyes and blonde looks bad on dark hair
February 11th, 2010

This is to Ethnic
It’s most likely because of that Irish blood,being a cold climate people.When they were slave over here,they burned so easy,they got the nickname (Red legs)
February 12th, 2010
that seems to be true. There were Irish slaves in the Caribbean and they were nicknamed redlegs because of the sunburn they sustained in the tropical heat.

This is to ethnic,
Oh yeah,people don’t know about this because they don’t put it in school history books,or teach it.Irish were slaves right along with black people,as a matter of fact,Irish were worth less.Their women were even used as breeding stock,so they could get more light skin black people.There’s a lot of things that have been hidden from black people.Here’s an example,have you ever heard of the black version of wall street?
February 14th, 2010
Fuzzybear you are very smart! :)
Its saturday ,not school ,and i still learned someting lol! :)
you do learn somthing new everyday lol!:)
February 14th, 2010
Greenwood aka Black wall street was an interesting historical place in the US. I hope more Americans know about it.
But thats why I do this site. So people can learn more about other people’s culture and hopefully we can get less ignorant towards each other.

To kira,
Why thank you very much
February 14th, 2010
To ethnic ,
Sadly no,they never talk about it.There’s a lot of things we never learned.Here’s another,did you know that some of the famous Spaniards that explored and that were down in Mexico were actually black(example:Estevanico).Or that the first person said to have circumnavigate the earth was black also(Enrique de Malacca)?

LMAO @ ‘Isabitch’…classic. Regardless of her paleness, Anne is an attractive woman. I love the ’simplicity’ she gives off. In my opinion, she should have stayed with her Italian boyfriend who was a bit on the dangerous side…it gave her that: Come close, but not to close, stay your distance appeal. But, it was her decision…it’s her career…
