NAGLULUKSA si Anne Hathaway sa pagpanaw ng kanyang kaibigan at naging direktor na si Garry Marshall.

Pumanaw si Marshall noong Martes ng gabi dahil sa komplikasyon sa pneumonia na nasundan ng stroke sa isang ospital sa Burbank, California. Siya ay 81.

Nagbida si Anne, 33, sa kanyang unang pelikula sa edad na 15 nang gumanap siya bilang si Mia Thermopolis na idinirihe ni Marshall sa Disney classic na The Princess Diaries noong 2001.

“Garry was goodness itself. He was generous. He was kind beyond kind. He was thoughtful and sweet and so funny you would pee yourself a little,” saad ni Anne sa social media bilang papuri kasama ang black and white na litrato nila ni Marshall at ni Julie Andrews. “I met him when I was a child who thought she was a grown-up; he treated me with grace and patience and respect and always, always love.” 

Nang lumabas ang balita sa pagpanaw ni Marshall, nag-text ang mother of one na si Anne sa kanyang co-star sa Princess Diaries na si Heather Matarazzo. Sila rin ang gumanap sa roles na kanilang ginampanan sa sequel noong 2004. Kasali rin si Anne sa star-studded cast ng Valentine’s Day na idinirehe rin ni Marshall noong 2010.

“I’m so happy I made three films with him. I’m so happy he blessed my son in my belly the last time I saw him (we never think it will be the last time),” sabi pa ni Anne sa kanyang post.

“Before we made the Princess Diaries, he told me ‘You never know if a movie is going to be a hit or not. The only thing you can control is the memories you make when shooting it. So, let’s make some good memories.’ That advice changed my life even more than the film did.”
