Born September 28, 1987, Duff splits her time between homes in Houston and Los Angeles with her parents, sister and two dogs. She enjoys swimming, tumbling and rollerblading. Duff has served on the Advisory Board of the Audrey Hepburn Child Benefit Fund and the Celebrity Council of Kids with a Cause. Hilary was a member of the 1998/99 Advisory Board of the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund and is a member of the 2001 Youth Advisory Committee of Kids With A Cause, a non-profit organization of celebrity children working to assist those less fortunate than themselves.
With a hit television series, two upcoming feature films and a new album, Hilary Duff is one of Hollywood’s fastest rising stars.
The dynamic young actress has garnered world-wide recognition as the star of Disney Channel’s international hit series “Lizzie McGuire” in which she portrays a teen navigating the turbulence of middle school cliques, trendy styles and rites of passage while her animated, brassy alter ego gives running commentary. “Lizzie McGuire” premiered in January 2001 and is now seen everyday at 7:30 p.m. on Disney Channel and Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. on the ABC Television Network.
In May 2003, Duff brought her character to the big screen with the Walt Disney Picture’s hit comedy “The Lizzie McGuire Movie.” After graduating from Hillridge Middle School, Lizzie and her pals take a school enrichment trip to Italy where she is mistaken for Isabella (an Italian rock star) and begins to fall for Paolo (Isabella’s former handsome Italian rock star boyfriend). As Lizzie is transformed from a gawky teen into a beautiful pop star, Paolo’s true colors surface and Lizzie discovers the true meaning of love and friendship.
In addition, Duff co-starred in March 2003 with Frankie Muniz in the MGM film “Agent Cody Banks.” She plays prep school student Natalie Connors who is unknowingly caught between a new love, who is actually a secret teen agent, and her father, a scientist who unknowingly develops a fleet of deadly nanobots.
This continues to be a very busy year for the in-demand actress. She recently completed filming 20th Century Fox’s “Cheaper By The Dozen,” with Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt. The film is scheduled to be released this Christmas. In July, Hilary started production with a starring role in the Warner Bros. picture “Cinderella Story,” a comedy about a Southern California high school student who is transformed from an awkward teen to the most popular girl in school.
