Anne Hathaway & Jessica Chastain: Time's Great Performances Feature!

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain strike poses in this brand new feature for Time magazine’s Great Performances feature.

Here’s what the ladies, along with Anne‘s Les Miserables co-star Hugh Jackman and Lincoln‘s Sally Field, had to share with the mag:

Anne, on her Les Miserables character: “As a woman born in 1982, I take for granted so many freedoms that Fantine wouldn’t even dream of.”

Jessica, on playing real people in Zero Dark Thirty: “Because we’re playing characters that really exist, it was important to show the utmost respect when portraying them.”

Sally, on Lincoln co-star Daniel Day Lewis: “Daniel’s generosity is really unheard of. And I needed to find a relationship with this man, instantly. So, I came to his house and he said shall we have coffee. And I said, no. Like Mary, I want to get you out of the house…and we walked for hours… I was able to say to him, I need to touch you, I hope you don’t mind… It was the most magnificent work experience I’ve ever had in my life, I’ll never have it again like that, and I will cherish it until the day I die.”

Also pictured inside: Jessica arriving to her Broadway play The Heiress wearing a Missoni blazer on Wednesday (February 6) in New York City.
