In 2001 she starred in The Other Side of Heaven, but she became a household name overnight when she did the Disney hit The Princess Diaries. It was so successful that a sequel, The Princess Diaries: A Royal Engagement, was released in 2004. In 2002 she became a part of a concert called Carnival and provided voice for The Cat Returns.

To break away from the squeaky clean image, Anne accepted more daring roles in movies like Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, and later in The Devil Wears Prada opposite Meryl Streep, Rachel Getting Married.
