Who knew a horrible breakup could kick off the best part of one’s career?

In the last few weeks, Anne Hathaway has done a superb job moving past the issues in her personal life. She’s braved uncomfortable interviews, earned Oscar buzz for Rachel Getting Married and made people laugh on Saturday Night Live. (You can see one of her SNL sketches after the jump.) Now Anne’s adding a high-profile project to her resume.

It’s just been announced that Hathaway will be the latest star to join Alice in Wonderland. The Tim Burton film - which already boasts Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter - also features Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Hathaway is scheduled to play the White Queen.

The Disney film - which will incorporate live action and performance-capture technology - is not scheduled to be released until 2010.

Until then, you can watch Hathaway take on another fictional character (Mary Poppins) below:
