No, Jean Valjean is not Fantine's uncle in Les Misérables. Jean Valjean is a character who becomes Fantine's savior and adopts Fantine's daughter, Cosette, later in the story. Fantine's backstory involves a different set of circumstances, including a romantic relationship and a daughter born out of wedlock.
Anne Hathaway portrayed Fantine in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables.
Jean Valjean promises to take care of Fantine's daughter, Cosette, after Fantine's death. He feels guilty for not having done more to help Fantine while she was alive, and he vows to right this wrong by providing a loving home for Cosette.
Fantine doesn't have the money to support Cosette, and she sees the Thenardiers' children playing (who looked very healthy) and the Thenardiers took Cosette in but made Fantine keep paying ridiculous amounts of money.
Fantine is usually considered a supporting role in Les Miserables, so an actress nominated for her work as Fantine on Broadway would be nominated for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.
Fantine loses her job and finds herself unable to earn money to support her young daughter, who she thinks is sick and needs medicine. Someone offers to pay Fantine for her beautiful hair, and she agrees.
