Anne Hathaway Almost Quit Mother Mary After Seeing Her Performance
Anne Hathaway almost quit the A24 musical Mother Mary after seeing footage of herself performing the film’s original songs, doubting she could entice audiences; she decided to stay, noting there would be no shame in being fired but a bigger one in quitting. She then spent months taking dance lessons and a year refining her vocals, even returning to the studio to re-record much of her part with Jack Antonoff. The film, directed by David Lowery, centers a pop star’s comeback and recently premiered.
