Julia Stiles

Julia Stiles started her acting career when she was only 11 years old, portraying Erica Dansby in the television series Ghostwriter. Reports say that her biggest break was when she starred in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You with the late Heath Ledger. Stiles won the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and was also nominated for two Teen Choice Awards. She has also worked on Save The Last Dance, The Prince & Me, and Wicked.

Credits to the actress’s unwavering goal to finish her studies, Julia took a break from acting to study at Columbia University despite being at the peak of her career. After graduating with a degree in English Literature, she returned to the entertainment industry. Luckily, she was able to break free from her teen roles and landed more mature and serious characters. Since then, Julia has gained roles in movies like The Omen, Mona Lisa Smile, and Silver Linings Playbook.
