Who is Hilary Duff?

Hilary Duff is Hollywood?s It Girl at the moment. This workaholic young actress was born on September 28, 1987, in Houston, Texas. She took acting classes with her sister Haylie. At the age of six, Hilary danced in The Nutcracker Suite, along with Haylie with the Columbus Ballet Met. After having a taste of the stage, both girls wanted to pursue acting careers, so they moved to California with their mother. Hilary took on a variety of television commercials and appeared in True Women in 1997. Her big break came in 2000, when she was cast in the new television series Daddio. However, when the sitcom was picked up, Hilary was dropped off the casting list and it nearly finished her career. Despondent, the young actress auditioned for Lizzie McGuire after repeated hassling from her mother and manager and got the part. With the rise to fame brought about by her role as Lizzie, Hilary began to land better acting jobs, including American Dreams and Cheaper by the Dozen. In 2002, the actress recorded I Can?t Wait for the soundtrack of Lizzie McGuire and then did another recording for the first DisneyMania album. She then teamed up with her sister to do a Christmas album, and later recorded three more solo albums.
