Recent Role Gives Hollywood Actress Anne Hathaway New Perspective on Parkinson’s Disease


In the 2010 film “Love & Other Drugs,” Anne Hathaway stars as an early-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD) patient with an “everyday could be your last” mentality that often prompts her to live on the wild side. In preparing for the role, Hathaway said she spent considerable time researching PD, including attending Parkinson’s support groups.

What she learned:

“They shared their stories with me …their fears and anxieties but also their triumphs. I learned that Stage 1 Parkinson’s is all about good days and bad days,” said Hathaway.
