She is a UN Women goodwill ambassador, and a board member of the Lollipop Theatre Network, which brings films to children in hospitals.
Anne is the daughter of Kate McCauley (Kathleen Ann McCauley), an actress, and Gerald Thomas Hathaway, a labor attorney. She was raised in Milburn, New Jersey, from the age of six. Anne is married to actor Adam Shulman, with whom she has two children.
Anne is of approximately 62.5% Irish ancestry. Anne’s father has Irish, French, English, and German ancestry. Anne’s mother is of Irish descent. Anne has said that she has roots in Cork and Donegal on her father’s side. Anne stated in an article on News.com.au that she also has distant Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this ancestry has been verified/documented. If true, it could only be on her father’s side; her mother’s family were all recent Irish immigrants. Anne was raised Catholic, and later became a non-denominational Christian.
Anne has said that she has a very pale complexion because she tries to avoid being in the sun, as her family has a long and tragic history of skin cancer.
Anne’s patrilineal line appears to trace to Nicholas Hathaway, who was born, c. 1595, in Kingscote, Gloucestershire, England.
Anne’s paternal grandfather was Robert Earnest/Ernest Hathaway (the son of Pearl LeRoy Hathaway and Carrie Melinda Sensabaugh). Robert was born in Pennsylvania. Pearl was the son of James A. Hathaway and Emma Louisa Reed. Carrie was the daughter of Frederick Jay Sensabaugh and Myrtie F. W. Foster.
Anne’s paternal grandmother was Jacqueline Anne Hughes (the daughter of Joseph T. Hughes and Pauline-Mathilde Turpin). Joseph was born in Pennsylvania, to Irish parents, Thomas Hughes and Catherine Chambers. Pauline-Mathilde was French, born in Marne, France.
Anne’s maternal grandfather was Joseph Daniel “Joe” McCauley (the son of James Francis McCauley and Catherine/Katherine M. Crosson). Joe McCauley was born in Pennsylvania, and was a prominent radio personality in Philadelphia. James was born in Pennsylvania, to Irish parents, James H. McCauley and Mary Mulholland. Catherine was born in Northern Ireland.
Anne’s maternal grandmother was Roseline/Rosalina Marie Sinnott/Sennott (the daughter of James M. Sinnott and Florence M. Waters). Roseline was born in Pennsylvania. James and Florence were born in Pennsylvania, and all of their own parents were Irish.

At this time, Anne Hathaway never located nor (re-)connected with her Native American or First Nations tribe or nation she claimed to have an ancestor from. Canada’s Meti communities spread out from historic Rupert’s Land in northern Quebec and Ontario to their original homelands of Red River valley Manitoba into saskatchewan and Alberta, and finally, their migrations into British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces. Note the Eastern Metis groups are fraudulent, claimed a 250-400 year ago ancestor who left their Indigenous tribes, and if there were any Meti not of the Metis Nation, they were recent descendants after 1867 or aren’t claimed as such by the problematic Indian Act in Canada, often they’re claimed by First Nations tribes or they live among English- and French-speaking European cultures. And there are some Metis in the northern US who are connected to Louis Riel’s organized movement in 1860s-80s Canada after they became a dominion.

She looks like she’s kinda Italian.
@Daron Man, all the white european look like the same! What are you talking about! Race and ethnicity is different…
one of the most ignorant statements I’ve read in here, no, all white Europeans don’t look the same, not even all northern Europeans look the same (which is what some, more niche groups of people would exclusively refer as “white” Europeans), let alone all Europeans at large, this is kinda basic, not all Asians or Africans look the same, some look vastly different from each other, same with Europeans
