Unusually, the actor was cast after only one audition, and she had an instant rapport with director Garry Marshall.
During the audition, Hathaway reminisced, saying, “I think that’s what he was most impressed with—that I got really nervous and fell out of my chair.” This information was reported by Vogue.
On the anniversary of the film, the actress said, “I remember [the day] and I give thanks to the universe,
a big open-hearted thank you because that was the day that dreams came true for me.” She continued by saying that this is still very much a “fairy tale” moment for her.
plenty parts of my life are based on reality, but there are also plenty that seem like something out of a fairy tale. On that fateful day, my magical story began.
