Quite probably the single most influential playwright of all time, and yet so little is known about him or his wife.

johnnyzoom7, LOL we'll see that's what threw me off. I thought they put that in there to throw people off the game. I thought it was Anne Hathaway the movie actress

littlesaint 72, yes, but not everyone knows this. Many think of the beautiful young actress in Princess Diaries before they think William Shakespeare's wife.

when two people love each other age doesn't matter at all,if people find normal for a man to be older 10,20,30,40 years than a woman why is such a problem if woman is older few years? i am 7 years older than my husband and we are doing just more than fine in any possible way

The Yank Actress called Anne Hathaway's real name is Cindy Mckleen,but changed her name,because it was the only way of getting regular acting work.

Since many actors choose their own 'stage' names, I'm thinking that the actress probably 'borrowed' the name of Shakespeare's wife. I've been to the place they were supposed to have lived (in Stratford-upon-Avon), and there's a lot of interesting stuff there, though nobody can confirm that Shakespeare or his wife were ever associated with most of it. Anne's supposed cottage and garden is a National Heritage site, I think (Could be wrong there, in which case I apologise!) .

Age gap doesn't matter but big age gaps were very common back then as most marriages among the upper classes was for status and wealth rather than love. But the risk of a baby born out of wedlock would be unthinkable so by family pressur own desire to do right it would almost certainly be the reason.

Is there an actress name Anne Hathaway, I was thinking of the character Jane Hathaway of The Beverly Hillbillies, I got the answer right because Shakespeare would never marry a Jane Hathaway who was a Head Secretary for Mr. Drysdale’s Bank, not Jethro liked her.
