FANTINE FACES FORTUNE

She's been jilted. Impregnated against her will. Lied to. Fired. Destitute. Desperate. Nearly arrested. Infected by a consumptive customer, to die a slow and painful death.
But it all has turned out for good.

Anne Hathaway played star-crossed proletarian-turned-prostitute Fantine in this winter's cinematic rendition of Les Misérables. This character's life story, summed up in the first paragraph of this post, is no fairy tale.

However, Anne has recently had more luck than Fantine: she's Best Supporting Actress of 2012!
The musical based upon Hugo's magnum opus has received other two of the eight prospective Oscars:
the other two, for Best Hairstyling and Best Sound Mixing.

Anne Hathaway, AKA Fantine, in 2008.

Hathaway, who has won a Golden Globe before her Oscar, went on a diet and lost weight during the recording of Les Misérables to display the visible effects of the consumption (tuberculosis) that claimed her unfortunate character's life. She has currently recovered, unlike Fantine, from her weight loss.
