Anne Hathaway as Judy Garland?
March 24th, 2009 by Evil Beet
My sister’s in town visiting this week, and somehow the topic of Anne Hathaway came up. My sister was like, “I never like her in movies,” and I was like, “You know, me neither. I like that she was dating a “Vatican” con-man, I like that she sold him out to the Feds, and I like what she wears when Rachel Zoe styles her, but I never actually do like her in movies.” So I have to admit that I’m kind of disappointed that Anne’s been chosen to play Judy Garland in her upcoming biopic, Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.
Even weirder: They’re doing both a film AND stage adaptation, and Anne will star in both. SOMEBODY KEEP HER AWAY FROM THE SUSHI!
Seriously though I think they were looking for someone who has proven she can sing, dance, and play a drug addict, so I don’t understand how Courtney Love was passed up for this role. They must have wanted a brunette.

I have to admit, though i dislike her greatly, I was very impressed by her singing on snl.
The amazing skit with the lenon sisters i believe it was.
Every time I see Anne Hathaway I want to scream and rip out my hair,
then burn it in a ritual sacrifice while dancing around it in the nude covered in war paint slowly throwing in every movie she’s ever made to create the lovely combination scent of burnt hair and shit.
Yessss.
Agreed.
For fucks sake, agreed.
This is going to kill me, I just know it.
This is probably the worst news I’ll get all year. I love Judy Garland and this is such an insult to her talent! I don’t see Anne Hathaway having the emotional range to cover the struggles that Judy went through as a silver screen artist at all. I hope drag queens everywhere riot. I know I want to burn something the fuck down now.
Did you see Rachel Getting Married? I almost hate to say it…she was actually good in that. Not great, but good…
GAH! I hate her. Mild distaste until she absolutely ruined by beloved Jane Austen in Becoming Jane. Now she is going to butcher Judy Garland…is nothing sacred? :(
I can’t stand Hathaway and her big smug 40-toothed grin. She looks like a really mean shark.
Nooooooooooooo. I love Judy Garland and I just don’t like Anne Hathaway!
ya’ll are a bunch of haters. hathaway is great, she can sing and dance and fuckin act! she is beautiful but not over the top. didnt anyone see ella enchanted? buncha idiots
hmm as a garland fan i am not happy that we will have another garland life movie simply because Me and My shadows was great. Judy’s life is all people talk about when she is brought up but i am anne hathaway fan so we will see it is going to be a musical it might be good it might be bad i will see it anyway
huge Anne H fan-she can do no wrong-except get another dweeb boyfriend.
I do like the comment about Courtney Love being the perfect typecast! lol
