HuffPost
The "Devil Wears Prada" star said she lost a pregnancy during a six-week production of her solo play, "Grounded."
Anne Hathaway recently recalled suffering through a miscarriage in 2015 while acting in a play where she had “to give birth on stage every night.”
In a Vanity Fair interview published Monday, Hathaway, 41, opened up about the traumatizing experience that happened during the six-week run of her solo off-Broadway play, “Grounded,” which she produced and starred in at the Public Theater in New York.
Directed by Julie Taymor, “Grounded” followed “the life of a female fighter pilot in the Middle East whose unexpected pregnancy ends her career in the sky,” according to the play’s synopsis.
“The first time [being pregnant] didn’t work out for me,” Hathaway said. “I was doing a play and I had to give birth onstage every night.”
The Oscar winner revealed that she was so overwhelmed by the loss that she had to “keep it real” with her friends about the miscarriage when they visited her backstage at the theater.
