Was Anne Boleyn as "conniving" as she is reported to be?

by ademnus

Numerous documentaries, tv shows and films portray Anne Boleyn as a cunning woman who connived her way to the top by playing Henry like a flute. But how much actual history supports this? Are there letters in her own hand or diaries that lend credence to this or is it just the ill report of her enemies? For a woman who was called prostitute, concubine and witch for her role in the divorce of Catherine and the transformation of the church, I can't help but wonder if her "wicked womanly wiles" was just as contrived.

Kind of shocked no one has answered. I'd have thought this was a well traveled part of history and someone would crop up with some insight.
