With a number of high-profile projects, a variety of magazine covers, and a spot on Teen People's 1999 The 21 Hottest Stars Under 21 list under her belt, actress Julia Stiles has come a remarkably long way in a very short time. Born March 28, 1981, in New York City, Stiles was interested in performing from a very young age. When she was 11 years old, she wrote a letter to a Manhattan theater director asking to be cast in a production, and was soon acting onstage in avant-garde plays at both the La Mama and Kitchen Theaters.
In the film adaptation of novelist Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity (2002), Stiles had the chance to participate in a film starring Hollywood golden boy Matt Damon, and will return to the role in 2004's The Bourne Supremacy. Stiles was praised for holding her own against Stockard Channing in The Business of Strangers (2001), which was shown at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, and fared decently in A Guy Thing, a romantic comedy-of-errors co-starring Jason Lee and Stiles' fellow Down to You alumna Selma Blair. In 2003, Stiles would play opposite the Oscar-winning Julia Roberts in Mona Lisa Smile, which finds Stiles playing a conservative 1950's college student whose beliefs undergo some serious scrutiny after coming in contact with an uncharacteristically progressive teacher (Roberts).
The first quote was from one of the idiots at the soiree last night.
Julia Stiles is a little cutie actress (with some thinking to do) and was in a very nice small and quite funny movie, "The Ten Things I Hate About You".
When she read this poem at the end of the movie she had written about a boy she liked, it was really very beautifully acted.
Julia Stiles - Kat: I hate the way you talk to me / And the way you cut your hair. / I hate the way you drive my car. / I hate it when you stare. / I hate your big dumb combat boots / And the way you read my mind. / I hate you so much it makes me sick -- / It even makes me rhyme. / I hate the way you're always right. /I hate it when you lie. /I hate it when you make me laugh -- /Even worse when you make me cry. / I hate it when you're not around / And the fact that you didn't call. / But mostly I hate the way / I don't hate you -- / Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
