Julia Stiles must just have a thing for Shakespeare... in the past few years she has already logged 3 Shakespearean credits - 10 Things I Hate About You ("Taming of the Shrew"), Hamlet and O ("Othello"). All three were modernized versions of the classic tales, and it seems fitting that Stiles has been so adept at adaptations.

Classically beautiful, yet full of youthful spunk, she embodies both the old and the new. A native New Yorker, Stiles was born March 28th, 1981. Even at a young age, Julia was a creative child, who enjoyed writing and performing. At age eleven, with only some meager YMCA lessons to her name, she wrote a letter to the La Mama Theatre group asking for an audition. The bold and determined Julia got her wish - and a part.

During her time with the group she also contributed to Zuzu, a New York based children’s magazine - published by Restless Youth Press, an organization dedicated to publishing the work of young artists. Stiles was a regular contributor, and wrote about her own life and experiences as an upcoming actress. The writing bug has stayed with Julia.

Some more small supporting roles followed, but none of them allowed Stiles to truly showcase her talent and break through. Julia’s big break finally came in the form of the NBC mini-series, The 60s. The program was a success, and people finally got a taste of what Julia had to offer. Julia followed up her television success with her stunning role in 10 Things I Hate About You, which earned her an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance of that year. While 10 Things won over the crowds, Hamlet would win over the critics.

Despite a misstep with the lackluster romantic comedy Down To You, Julia’s career seems to be booming. She has been named one of Teen People Magazine’s "21 Hottest Stars Under 21" and continues to stick out from the young Hollywood crowd as a rare and beautiful talent.
