Anne Hathaway recently revealed an inappropriate question she was asked by a reporter early into her acting career at the age of 16.

Hathaway noted that working with the film's director William Oldroyd was a positive experience as the pair set out to make a movie centered on a young female protagonist.

The actress was especially impressed with Oldroyd's past work on the 2016 drama series "Lady Macbeth."

"Eileen" is based on a novel written by Ottessa Moshfegh about a young woman trying to survive an impoverished life in Boston during the 1960s.

Hathaway plays the role of Rebecca, who befriends Eileen while working in prison.

Hathaway started her acting career at a young age and has gone on to star in multiple Hollywood blockbusters and earn multiple accolades, including an Oscar and a Primetime Emmy Award.
