Another piece in the “Les Miz” puzzle

Anne Hathaway

It finally looks like my all-time favorite stage musical, Les Miserables, may actually be coming to the screen the way it should. First I heard that Tom Hooper, who just won the Oscar for The King’s Speech, was going to direct and that Hugh Jackman would play Jean Valjean, Now comes word that that Anne Hathaway is going to portray Fantine, the woman who, on her deathbed, pleads with Valjean to take care of her daughter Cosette. So far, so good.

Learning about this bit of casting today also gives me the excuse to once again post one of my favorite pictures.
