According to Anne Hathaway, all she sees is her "weird features." In a new interview for the March issue of InStyle magazine, Anne Hathaway shares her thoughts on looks and the endless pressure of Hollywood.

Anne Hathaway says, “I think I’ve got really weird features," "I have very large features on a very small head. But, you know, I’m not going to beat myself up… I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important."

Still, Anne Hathaway doesn't let her minor insecurities get her down. In fact, Anne Hathaway tells InStyle that at the end of the day, she is happy to be herself, just the way she is.

Topher Grace and Anne Hathaway Valentine' s Day interview... Valentine's Day is the latest romantic comedy from director Garry Marshall. The film features a star-studded cast, all of whom have intertwining stories of the heart that take place over the course of one Valentine's Day.
In one of these stories, an office assistant named Liz (Anne Hathaway) is working at the biggest talent agency in town and is dating the mailroom assistant, Jason (Topher Grace). Turns out Hathaway's character also moonlights as a phone sex operator, and does a pretty good job at it!
Tribute's Bonnie Laufer sat down with the engaging and energetic Topher Grace and Anne Hathaway to find out if they think Valentine's Day is a pressure-filled holiday and how they managed to understand Garry Marshall's unique way of directing them in their scenes.

McAdams was born in London, Ontario, and grew up in nearby St. Thomas. Her father, Lance, is a truck driver, and her mother, Sandy (Sandra), is a nurse. She has a younger sister, Kayleen, and younger brother, Daniel.

At the age of four, she took up competitive figure skating. She took up acting at age thirteen at a summer theater camp. When the company extended to a year-round company, she was invited to continue with them. During her senior year at York University in Toronto, she played a child in The Piper - a workshop led by a creative team from Toronto's Necessary Angel Theatre Company. She attended Central Elgin Collegiate Institute in St. Thomas from grade nine to OAC and starred in the award winning student production "I live in a Little Town". Later she graduated from York University with honours and a B.F.A. degree in theatre. She also attended Original Kids Theatre Company in London, Ontario, as well as David Rothenberg's on-camera acting class in Toronto with fellow actors Scott Speedman, Kenneth Mitchell, Polly Shannon and David Sutcliffe.

Career
She had a large role in the film The Hot Chick, alongside Rob Schneider, but her career really took off when she starred as "Regina George", "queen-bee" in 2004's Mean Girls. She starred opposite Hollywood It-Girl Lindsay Lohan. McAdams was told to partly model the character of Regina George after Alec Baldwin's performance in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992). Mean Girls got McAdams's name into many homes in the United States, and she won rave reviews for her performance.

McAdams had previously appeared in the Canadian television series "Slings and Arrows", alongside Paul Gross. She played a main role in the first season, but due to her rising stardom was written out of the second season, appearing in only the first episode.

She followed Mean Girls with the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel The Notebook, alongside Ryan Gosling. The pair would later continue their on-screen romance, rumoured to have started after they shared a passionate kiss onstage when accepting the MTV movie award for "best kiss."

In 2005, she played Owen Wilson's love interest in Wedding Crashers. Rachel then starred in the suspense thriller Red Eye as Lisa Reisert, a young woman held captive aboard a red-eye jet by criminal-for-hire and assassin Jackson Rippner (played by Cillian Murphy), whose name is a pseudonym based on Jack the Ripper. Her most recent role is in the comedy The Family Stone where she stars alongside Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dermot Mulroney, Luke Wilson and Claire Danes.

McAdams abruptly opted out of a cover shoot for Vanity Fair alongside two other Hollywood "It girls," Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, upon finding out it was to be nude. Tom Ford, artistic director for the cover, instead appeared with them. Ford had prearranged the shoot with McAdams's rep, Wolf Kasteller s Amy Van Iden. When McAdams appeared on set and discovered it was nude, she politely declined, according to Keira Knightley. She also reportedly fired Van Iden.

McAdams turned down the role of the Bond girl in Casino Royale and it was given to Eva Green. She was also considered for the role of Susan Stom/Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four and was going to star in The Last Kiss but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Jacinda Barrett then stepped in to replace her. She will soon be seen in the 2007 movie Marriage.

Personal life
McAdams currently lives in Toronto, Canada. She is a former vegetarian, and is currently dating fellow Canadian actor Ryan Gosling. Both were born in St. Joseph's Hospital in London, Ontario. She moved to L.A. after she started dating Ryan Gosling.
