Chapter 1: Exciting Young Cast and Legendary StarsThe charmed cast of "The Princess Diaries" includes Anne Hathaway, Hector Elizondo, Heather Matarazzo, Caroline Goodall, Mandy Moore, Robert Schwartzman, Erik von Detten, Sandra Oh, Sean O'Bryan and Julie Andrews.
Anne Hathaway plays Mia Thermopolis, the bright but shy teenager whose desire to survive each school day with a minimum of attention and embarrassment is thwarted by the news of her royal lineage. Cast in the role of the reluctant royal from thousands of actresses from across the country, Hathaway's acting talent, presence and charm made her the ideal choice for the role.
Julie Andrews portrays Queen Clarisse Renaldi, Mia's formidable paternal grandmother, who delivers the shocking news which turns Mia's world upside down. Hector Elizondo portrays Joseph, Genovia's head of security who acts as Mia's bodyguard and limo driver. His devotion to duty includes a long-standing affection for Queen Clarisse Renaldi.
Heather Matarazzo plays Mia's best friend, Lilly, whose environmental and political activism is equaled by her horror at her friend's sudden notoriety.
Caroline Goodall is Helen, Mia's free-spirited artist mother, whose relationship with her daughter is strained by the revelation that Mia is a princess.
Recording artist Mandy Moore makes her feature film debut as Lana, Mia's nemesis and the most popular girl at school.
Robert Schwartzman plays Lilly's brother Michael, whose fondness for Mia is tested by the news of her royal heritage; Erik von Detten is Josh, Lana's boyfriend and the most popular guy in school; Sandra Oh portrays Vice Principal Gupta; Sean O'Bryan plays Mr. O'Connell, a teacher who develops an attraction to Mia's mother; and Mindy Burbano plays Ms. Harbula, girls' athletic coach who tries her best to help.
"I haven't had such an exciting young cast acting for me since `The Flamingo Kid,' when I had Matt Dillon, Fisher Stevens, Leon Robinson, Bronson Pinchot and Marisa Tomei," notes director Garry Marshall. "And, like everyone else, I'm a big fan of Julie Andrews. And Hector Elizondo has been in all of my movies!"
