LES MISERABLES has grossed over $140 million in the U.S. since its release on Christmas day. The hit musical won three Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical, Best Actor to Hugh Jackman and Best Supporting Actress to Anne Hathaway. Hathaway also took home Best Supporting Actress at the SAG Awards for her portrayal of 'Fantine'. LES MISERABLES has been nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Hathaway.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, LES MISERABLES tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption-a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, Hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

In addition to hosting the Oscars in 2011 and appearing in Batman: The Dark Night, Anne Hathaway's film credits include 'The Princess Diaries,' 'Brokeback Mountain,' 'The Devil Wears Prada,' 'Becoming Jane,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' and 'Rachel Getting Married,' for which she was nominated for an Academy Award.

Hathaway played Viola in Shakespeare in the Park's 2009 production of TWELFTH NIGHT. She also appeared as Lili in CARNIVAL! at Encores!, and was in some of the workshops for PROMISES, PROMISES.
