Anne Hathaway APOLOGIZES to the disabled community over The Witches controversy: I promise I’ll do better
Anne Hathaway is issuing an apology for her character’s hands in HBO Max’s The Witches revival. If you don’t know, the witches appear in the new adaptation with three-fingered hands, similar to the limb abnormality ectrodactyly, otherwise known as “split hand.” However, the witches in Roald Dahl’s original book are described as having “claws instead of fingernails.” An illustration on the first edition cover also shows them having all five fingers. “I have recently learned that many people with limb differences, especially children, are in pain because of the portrayal of the Grand High Witch in The Witches,” Anne posted on Instagram.
