The world may know Anne Hathaway as a talented award-winning actress, but to her parents,

Kate McCauley Hathaway and Gerald “Jerry” Hathaway, Anne will first and foremost be their one and only daughter.

Despite having roots in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Kate and Gerald raised Anne and her older brother, Michael, and younger brother, Thomas, in Brooklyn, New York, and later in Millburn, New Jersey.

As the Hathaway children grew up, Gerald worked as an attorney at several law firms in the tri-state area. Meanwhile, Kate continued to build a career as a professional actor and theatrical producer.

Kate and Gerald have both been spotted on the red carpet supporting their daughter over the years, while Anne has credited her mother for nurturing her love of acting.

Notably, she praised Kate for inspiring her portrayal of Fantine in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables, a performance that earned Anne the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Decades prior, Kate played the understudy for the same part in the first U.S. traveling tour of the musical.

“We decided a long time ago that she was my mom [and not a manager-type], but on this one, I did go to her,” the actress told The Hollywood Reporter. “We just talked about the character. She told me a lot about her experience playing Fantine, which gave me even more confidence that it was in my blood, in my DNA, it was a family legacy.”

She added, “I think it allowed me to connect on a deeper level to the character, knowing how much it meant to her.”

While Anne continues to enjoy success in Hollywood, including starring in the 2024 romantic comedy The Idea of You, her parents didn’t always want their daughter to be solely focused on acting.
