Anne Hathaway is terrified about taking on the role of iconic singer Judygarland - branding herself "insane" for agreeing to play the late star in a biopic.

The Devil Wears Prada actress will play the Wizard of Oz legend in a big screen adaptation of biographer Gerald Clarke's 2001 book Get Happy The Life of Judy Garland.

And despite showing off her song-and-dance skills during a musical medley with Hugh Jackman at the Oscars in February (09), Hathaway still isn'tsure she has the talents to do the part justice.

I think I'm either naive or insane to play her - maybe a little bit of both! But at least Hathaway has the backing of another musical veteran - Garland's daughter Liza MinnelliAnne Hathaway

She tells the New York Daily News, "I think I'm either naive or insane to play her - maybe a little bit of both!" But at least Hathaway has the backing of another musical veteran - Garland's daughter Liza Minnelli.

She adds, "I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it yet, but I understand that as long as I treat Judy with respect - which of course I will - Liza is very happy about it".
