Harvard honors actress Anne Hathaway in Cambridge



Midday snow showers on Thursday did not stop crowds of people from flocking to Harvard Square looking to get a glimpse of this year’s Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year – Anne Hathaway.

“It’s the only way to travel,” said the movie star of “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain” fame, as she traveled down Massachusetts Avenue in a red Bentley, flanked by Harvard men dressed in drag while blowing kisses to her bundled-up fans.

After the parade, Hathaway was roasted on stage in typical Hasty Pudding Theatricals fashion. Here she is during a "Brokeback Mountain" skit.

     I am happy for her getting this.  I was always upset she was the only one in the main cast of
Brokeback Mountain that didnt get an Academy award nomination.  Her part, though it was small
was one of my favorites.  Specially the scene on the phone.
