What Anne Hathaway has said about The Secret Garden
While there don’t appear to be any specific quotes from Audrey Hepburn about the book and her love of it, it appears to be widespread, common knowledge. And while there aren’t any famous quotes from Hepburn about the written classic, Anne Hathaway did have something to say about “The Secret Garden.” According to the World Economic Forum, Hathaway said of the book, “I wanted to be Mary Lennox [in ‘The Secret Garden’] so badly. I still have a soft spot for gardens and I’m always going off to see if I can find locked doors inside them.” It’s also been on Hathaway’s recommended books lists, along with “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “1984,” and “Girl in a Band,” the latter of which is about Kim Gordon’s time in Sonic Youth.
Based on their public personas and the roles they’ve chosen to play, it makes sense that both Hepburn and Hathaway would relate to “The Secret Garden.” As much as it’s about an orphan finding herself, it’s also about the magic that can be found in mystery, as well as what can be resurrected when we give something patience, love, and time.
