Anne Hathaway shot to fame while starring in Disney’s The Princess Diaries and it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role, but there were actually some major stars who were also considered for the part.

Amid the news that The Princess Diaries 3 is in the works, we’re taking a look back at the other actresses who almost starred in the movie.

Anne had her big break in the film and she was just 18 when she was cast as Mia Thermopolis. Before landing on Anne for the role, there were many other actresses who were considered for the part and some of them reportedly turned the job down.

And he said, ‘That girl’s name is Annie. Why do you think she should be the princess?’ And they said, “Because she’s got the best princess hair.’”
