“Let’s not make too much of the pampered actress thing. There are many pregnant women, both at home and at work, who, as you know, didn’t get a manicure this morning” — Anne Hathaway responded this way to those applauding her for working while pregnant

Anne Hathaway is 43, expecting her third child, and has just wrapped up what may be the most exhausting year of her career.

Five press tours while pregnant: Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, and now Verity. With a schedule like that, the praise soon followed, and the word “superwoman” began following her onto every red carpet.

She put a stop to it right away. In an interview with AP Entertainment, she said bluntly: “Let’s not exaggerate about the pampered actress. There are many pregnant women, both at home and at work, who, as you know, didn’t get a manicure this morning”.

And she capped it off with a disarming line: “I’m very happy to do my job. I have a lot of support”.

For her, the credit isn’t in her schedule, but belongs to those who carry a pregnancy without glamour or a team behind them.
