Electrically pale Anne Hathaway enters the room, igniting it with her brand of snap-crackle-meets-dead-pan humor. Within two minutes, she admits to her memory flaw.
"We could have a conversation ... I could remember everything, but I couldn’t remember your name. [Yet] I’d go up to you and say, “How is your third rib doing? Last time we were here it was cracked. That was five years ago.”
Well, you should have no problem remembering her name--especially after her combustible breakthrough performance in Jonathan Demme’s latest critical gem, Rachel Getting Married. And especially around Oscar nom time.
Striking not cute, edgy not sarcastic, Hathaway talks about blame, addiction, love and Oscar buzz and her career-changing role as the disastrously honest Kym, a recovering addict with a troubled past who’s just about to crash ... um, attend ...her sister Rachel's pending nuptials.
