Pourquoi ne pas imaginer l’auteur d’« Hamlet » en femme ?

Cependant, la meilleure solution du « problème » Shakespeare serait certainement de présenter comme véritable auteur de son œuvre théâtrale sa femme, Anne Hathaway (1556-1623). L’hypothèse est vraisemblable : alors que William menait à Londres une vie agitée, Anne, habitant à la campagne, pouvait écrire à loisir. La solution serait également dans l’air du temps. Attribuer à une femme l’œuvre littéraire la plus illustre du monde assurerait au promoteur de la thèse une belle carrière, et à Anne une place de choix dans les études de genre.

Extreme Weight Loss for Roles is Not “Required” and Not Praiseworthy - Women and Hollywood

Kale and dust. Hummus and radishes. Two squares of dried oatmeal paste a day.

If you recognize any of these phrases, then you’ve probably been hit by the Anne Hathaway starvation-diet-for-her-craft marketing blitz.

In the unlikely event that you haven’t heard about this already, I’ll catch you up: Anne Hathaway, slim to begin with and already leaned down to catsuit size for The Dark Knight Rises, lost 25 pounds to more realistically inhabit the role of starving-and-dying-of-tuberculosis Fantine in the upcoming movie musical Les Misérables. Actors forcing dramatic body weight changes for roles is nothing new and nothing unique (see the similar-yet-tellingly-different coverage of Matthew McConaughey’s weight loss to play an AIDS sufferer in The Dallas Buyers Club), but Hathaway’s weight loss has become The Story of the production of Les Mis: a subject of endless discussion on celebrity gossip sites, the talk show circuit, and the cover story in the December issue of Vogue magazine.

Why is a skinny person getting skinnier garnering so much media fascination? Are hummus and radishes so much more fascinating than Les Mis director Tom Hooper’s decision to have the actors sing live for the cameras? And even if we insist on reducing an actress to her physical appearance, couldn’t we just talk some more about Anne Hathaway chopping off all her hair?
