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.

Just because you do not think she’s pretty does not mean that others can not think it. She is beautiful and natural, she just needs to tan.

it depends on each one. The skin of Anne Hathaway and Michelle Trachtenberg look of a corpse, but the skin of Evan Rachel Wood looks of a porcelain doll and is pretty.

So why aren’t people on here screaming that Anne Hathaway is not a “pure white” or “fully white” person, though she has as much Native blood as Megan Fox, which is less than 5%?
I knew that you guys were just a bunch of racist ass people. If Anne is white, so is Megan. The only reason why Megan is suddenly “mixed” despite being only 1/64 Native is because she is pretty. A bunch of disgusting individuals.
Peace.

I think Anne Hathaway is waaaaaaaaaaaaay prettier than Megan Fox. Megan has a reaally scrunched face. Small eyes, weird nose, eyebrows, teeth. Not attractive. But I do likethe dark hair/blue eye color. Anne has more beautiful facial features.

Why do you think that Megan is 1/64 Native?
1/84 is more realistic
So Hathaway is about 1/94 or even less

Lots of Americans know their ancestries down to the letter. They can track it via record data/marriage certificates/ immigration documents etc.. Mine is purely Scots-Irish on my mothers side, then Scots-English on my fathers side. I look Scottish but when I go to France ( the French) swear I am French!!
All this ”race mixing” didn’t happen has much as people want to believe. People in Europe rarely kept mixed race babies and legitimised them before the 1920′s.
The English wouldn’t even marry or breed with the Irish until the latter half of the 19th century. They didn’t consider them White enough.
You can have a genetic test done to confirm its not that expensive. You will fond that many, many European/American whites are not mixed race at all. They are purely Caucasian is one facet or another..

I don’t know where you get your information from but it is just not accurate. The English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh are in fact the same people. Read this link below
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/05/science/05cnd-brits.html?pagewanted=all
Ireland was part of the United Kingdom until 1922 and Northern Ireland is still part of the UK. Ireland was under the control of England for 800 years and there have been many plantations of English, Welsh and Scottish people into Ireland. Irish have also went to Britain since people inhabited those islands. The people on those islands carry the same genetics. Culturally the Irish, Welsh and Scottish are Celtic but genetically the people are basically of the same stock. The Irish were looked on as inferior by the English in the past because to invade a country you have to dehumanise people. You can’t think of people as “equal” if you want to depossess them. I don’t think it had anything to do with the Irish not being “white” enough.

She’s not part black.
She said so herself, she’s mainly Irish and French and has “droplets” of other blood in her.
I think Anne knows more about her heritage than any person on this site.

Not that I’m saying she is part black,but she doesn’t know who grandma or great grandma laid up with or what her grand dads were.You people live in denial about what people did in the past.I mean I had no idea my great grandfather was white,my family never said anything so I did know.

Your absolutely right.All the things I’m finding out about my family proves your point.Also for the four people who gave you the thumbs down,they can’t prove you wrong,so that’s the best they can do

I’m not saying that you’re wrong, it’s just that some people, like Anne, have actually gone through their family tree, and know their heritage.
This is a direct quote from her, on her IMDb profile.
“I’m very aware of my own background. I’m Irish, French and then a little bit of everything else thrown in, ranging from German to native American. We’re talking about tiny drops of blood.”
She sounds very confident about her ancestry, and I think if she was part black, she’d have said it.
The same goes for a lot of white people, and vice-versa! I always hear black/white people saying ‘that black/white person isn’t actually black/white, they’re probably white/black on their great (x4) grandmother’s side’ when in some cases this can be true, but it’s really not that hard to believe that someone can indeed be ’100% /blackwhite’ and still live in America for hundreds of years.

What you said is possible,However knowing names or even seeing pictures of a family member doesn’t tell you anything.People telling what your heritage is doesn’t help either.People were notorious for lying in the past,there are a lot of variables you haven’t considered.However I want to get on something else that was said.This (tiny drops of blood),I love how people try to rationalize that.There is no such thing as tiny drops of blood when it comes to your DNA.Every keeps seeing things from a way we’re taught to do math,but that is not how the human body works.I mean I keep saying this,that just 2% keeps us from being covered with fur and throwing boo boo.
The other part of your comment,I say possible
