Oscar-nominated actress Anne Hathaway has received a good-natured ribbing from Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals student drama troupe.
The group's Woman of the Year was honored yesterday with a parade down Massachusetts Avenue near the university in Cambridge, followed by a roast where she received her pudding pot from Harvard men in drag.
She joins a distinguished list of past recipients that includes Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Meryl Streep. Hathaway was nominated for an Academy Award for best actress in 2009 for her role in "Rachel Getting Married."
