Anne Hathaway’s Heroic Pizza Delivery
Anne Hathaway’s New York stage debut in Twelfth Night at the Delacorte closed on Sunday, but not before she could do something rather… heroic. Wee hours line waiters were treated to pizza on Sunday morning, hand delivered by Hathaway herself.
A Tisch student named Danlly Domingo has sent us a photo, of a behatted Mia Thermopolis offering slices around to the weary-but-committed ticket hopefuls.
Sure this might have been some carefully orchestrated PR thing—even though it was the last day, Hathaway will return to the New York stage in Promises, Promises and possibly a Judy Garland musical—but who cares. It’s still pretty cool that at 3am the morning before her big final performance, the actress came out to say a gracious thank you to devoted theatergoers.
Good things do happen in New York! And sometimes, just sometimes, they involve celebrities. Give us your hat so we can tip it to you, Anne.

@Paul.B.Dodd: Don't we all.
@iplaudius: Seconding all of the above, adding her advocacy on behalf of her gay brother and the rest of us. She makes it difficult not to be totally in love with her.
@iplaudius: Yes I agree with everything you just described about her. She just needs more discretionary taste when it comes to selecting her male companion.

Truth be told, though it was a kind gesture on her behalf, it wasn't just Anne Hathaway who delivered the pizza. It was the entire cast and crew who took up collections and ordered the pizza. So the love deserves to be sliced up a little more.

I love her. She is the antithesis of the talentless tabloid whores. She dresses tastefully and has beautiful, natural skin (no tan-paint for her). She's smart. On talk shows, she's playful, veering toward silly. She’s a good daughter: she takes her parents with her to lots of events. And now this? Pizza delivery to fans at 3 AM? Cheers to Ms. Hathaway!
You know, this is just a normal actorly thing to do. Because, in case you guys didn't know, ANNE HATHAWAY IS A FUCKING REAL ACTRESS, LIKE ON A STAGE WITH COSTUMES AND SHAKESPEARE AND LEARNING LINES AND SHIT.
Pretty charming. I have always thought despite "things" she was a good egg. Besides even if it is a pr stunt: it's pizza!

Her handing out pizza at 3 am makes me dislike her slightly less. Free pizza doth not cure vapidity.
@ElleL: Not Ray's

I hear from people in the business, she's a genuine person. She deserves much success.

@Thatcornellguy: Original Famous Ray's.
@ElleL: Neither. It's Famous Original Ray's.
Anne really doth hath a way with her fans.

That is one hot slice right there.
Is that Ray's or Original Ray's??
I was there! It wasn't just Anne it was a whole bunch of the cast at the tail end of their closing night festivities. Let me tell you, NOTHING tastes better after sitting in the rain for 3 hours than a fresh hot slice of pizza.

i want a slice of pizza slightly more than i want my star back. slightly
@SugouriMedea: Goddammit! I was there on THURSDAY night at 3am, and no pizza in sight!
...she was a pretty awesome Viola, though.

God, that pizza looks really good.

I hate to be a stickler for detail, but the pizza involved was ordered from Dominoes and between me and you, it wasn't delivered within a half-hour...
I'm just sayin...
@MattGaymon: A little thin perhaps. For my taste. Could use a slice...
