"When I was 14 years old, I did a commercial, and I had to get my SAG card and they asked me, 'Well, what do you want your name to be?'" she began. "And I was like, 'Well, it should be my name. My name's Anne Hathaway.' So that seemed like the right choice, but it never occurred to me that for the rest of my life, people will call me Anne."
For the most part, she says only fans and movie posters call her "Anne."

Anne, er Annie, said she always thinks she's in trouble when people call out her birth name.
