Anne Heathaway :: Yorkshire accent

Anne Hathaway was wracked with nerves before shooting started on her new romantic movie One Day, because she had to perfect a northern English accent.

The Devil Wears Prada star fell in love with the role of Yorkshire-born Emma in the film, which is an adaptation of David Nicholls' 2009 novel.

Hathaway convinced director Lone Scherfig she was perfect for the part - but the American actress admits she initially doubted her ability to tackle the regional dialect.

She tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "I've never been so nervous about playing anyone as I was to play Emma.

"There were many reasons to say no to this part. One, because I didn't think I could pull it off. Two, I was very nervous about the Yorkshire accent."

Anne Hathaway : hates being type cast

"Love and Other Drugs" actress Anne Hathaway hates being type cast by her movie roles.
She is still working to over come her break out role in "The Princess Diaries".

Anne Hathaway said::
“The question that I dreaded answering in interviews was ‘Did you always dream of being a princess?’ I felt like saying ‘No, I dreamed of being an actress! That was a role I played!”

“It was frustrating because, like constantly being asked about the nudity in Love and Other Drugs, it kept the conversation at the surface. It was like talking to my grandparents — you know, ‘I’m really not as young as you think but I’m going to be polite’.”
