1-MINUTE RESUME FOR JULIA STILES
A precocious kid, Julia Stiles made her acting debut at age 11 with an
off-Broadway theater company. She trained at New York's Professional
Children's School, got her own agent at age 12 and made her first
feature film, I Love You, I Love You Not, with Claire Danes at age 15. She made a splash in 1999's 10 Things I Hate About You and took a crash course in hip-hop dance for Save the Last Dance. Over the years, she's earned the admiration of critics for her work and had a key role in Matt Damon's lucrative Bourne trilogy.
5 Things:
1. She's a feminist and a one-time vegetarian.
2. While a student at Columbia, she caused a campus brouhaha when she insulted the cafeteria ladies on a TV talk show.
3. She's done three modern Shakespeare movies: O, 10 Things I Hate About You (an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew) and Hamlet, with Ethan Hawke.
4. She still hangs on to her childhood "blankie."
5. Her family is all J's — dad John, mother Judith, sister Jane and brother Johnny.
Quote:
"It's funny, because walking down the street, when people do a double
take, I don't initially think that they recognize me. I think I'm in
some sort of danger."
