Anne Hathaway And Fairytales

Anne Hathaway was originally supposed to play Alice in Alice in Wonderland.

The 27-year-old star claimed directors wanted her to play the lead character, but she did not feel ready for the role.

She said: "The studio had the Alice script a long time ago and I was approached back then for the part of Alice. I considered it, but felt, what with The Princess Diaries, that I had been there, done that sort of pretty-girl-in-a-fairy-dress role.

"I told the studio, however, that if they find a director eventually, that I would be interested at a later date in playing the White Queen."

However, she admitted Tim Burton, who took on the directorial job, didn't want her in the role.

She told GQ: "When Tim came on board he had the cast he wanted and, of course, that didn't include me.

"I talked on the phone to Tim and he really liked my take. I wanted the Queen to be a cross between Debbie Harry, Greta Garbo, David Bowie, with a little bit of the work of Dan Flavin throwin in for good measure. A sort of psychotic bunny rabbit."
