Having worked in so many different movies, all requiring something different from her, she has had opportunities one after the other which add to her fame.

Anne Hathawayhad to work extremely hard to get the role of Lureen Newsome Twist inBrokeback Mountain.Not that the director knew about it initially. Although the actress was already contemplating whether or not she was the right fit for the role, she decided to lie on her resume.
“When I left the audition, the last thing Ang said was, ‘Oh, by the way, can you ride a horse?’ My parents have given me a lot of gifts in my life, and one of them is: If you’re ever asked if you can do anything, say yes. You can learn anything in two weeks if you’re motivated enough.”
When Ang Lee asked her if she could ride a horse, she told a lie about how she was a professional at it. She then tried learning how to ride a horse before the filming of the movie began. Despite her becoming really good at it, it was not enough. When the filming actually began, the horse was not listening to her at all and she even ended up falling in front of 300 professional riders.
