Anne Hathaway reflects on how she was told she would only be successful until she reached a certain age.
In an interview with Porter magazinethe actress opened up about her decades-longG career and key fashion moments from the past year, from stylist Erin Walsh.
“When I started (in this industry) as a child, I was warned that my career would go off a cliff at the age of 35, something I know many women face,” Hathaway told the publication. “What has evolved in that time is that more women have careers deeper in their lives, which I think is fantastic.”
However, she acknowledged that progress still needs to be made.
“It obviously doesn’t mean we have to have a ticker-tape parade – someone said to me the other day, ‘There’s so much to be proud of, and there’s so much to solve,’” she added.
