Birth date: November 12, 1982
Sign: Scorpio
Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York
Mother: Kate McCalley & Father: Gerald
Siblings: 2 brothers
Height: 5'8
Heat Factor: Her charming performance as a reluctant royal in last year's sleeper hit The Princess Diaries drew comparisons to another pretty woman (Julia Roberts) and put her at the top of Hollywood's most-wanted list.
Great Expectations: "Imagine somebody saying that this person you've worshiped since you were nine [Julia Roberts] -- that you're the next her. You want to run away with your fingers in your ears and say there's no way that I could be that good or that loved."
Price Of Fame: A highlight from Anne's freshman year at Vassar College -- "We were heading home from a party, and this drunk kid on the shuttle bus goes, 'Did anybody see that actress at the party? She's not that hot. You'd never expect her to be a movie star. 'I turned to him, pulled off my hat and said, 'Have a nice day!'"
Passions: Yoga (Anne came up with the idea to make Mia a yoga fanatic in Diaries) and writing (she's got ideas for a screenplay and a novel).
Up Next: An adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby and, hopefully, The Princess Diaries 2. "Disney is working on a script, so we'll all have to cross our fingers that it'll be good."
The Last Word: "Taking a year off and going to school was the best thing I could have done after The Princess Diaries. It taught me that I don't need Hollywood or a job to make me happy."
Three days before being cast in "Get Real" (1999), she performed in two concerts at Carnegie Hall as member of All-Eastern U.S. High School Honors Chorus.
After she accidentally fell off of her chair during her audition for the role of the klutzy princess in The Princess Diaries, she was hired right there and then.
Her nickname is Annie.
She is the first and only teenager admitted to the acting program at the award-winning The Barrow Group in New York.
She has done a commercial for Better Homes & Gardens.
She introduced musical acts at both the 1999 Teen Choice Awards & the 1999 Billboard Music Awards.
Her talent has been compared to Julia Roberts, Judy Garland & Audrey Hepburn.
She would like to sing on Broadway someday.
Has the same name as William Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway.
