Rachel gets married, Anne gets real
Long before the drums began beating at the Toronto International Film Festival for Anne Hathaway's new film, Rachel Getting Married, and long before her name started surfacing in Oscar-prediction pools with the big girls, including Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet, Hathaway had a breakthrough, one of those rare, genuine epiphanies that changes lives as well as careers.
