Hilary Duff is an actress and singer who was born September 28, 1987 in Houston, Texas. Encouraged by her mother to take acting classes along with her older sister, Haylie, Hilary and her sister acquired roles in local theatre productions. By age six she had appeared in a ballet, "The Nutcracker Suite," and with growing eagerness to pursue her career, she and her sister moved to California along with their mother, while their father stayed home in Houston. Both girls appeared in television commercials and were able to acquire minor roles in a variety of series, as well as serving as extras for movies. Her first significant role was as the star of the film "Casper Meets Wendy," (1998) sharing the screen with an animated ghost.

Moving on to television, Hilary appeared in a supporting role in "The Soul Collector" (1999) for which she won a Young Artist Award as a Supporting Actress. After a disappointing rejection from a new television sitcom, she auditioned for a family comedy show where she was allowed to shine and which gained her national prominence, "Lizzie McGuire." A movie based on the show, which aired on the Disney Channel in January of 2001 became a major ratings hit. She continued to appear in feature films ("Human Nature") and Disney Channel productions, including "Cadet Kelly" in 2002, with Gary Cole and Christy Romano, which became the most watched program in the history of the Disney Channel. Her next major role was in "Agent Cody Banks," along with Frankie Muniz (from "Malcolm in the Middle"), then followed up with a Steve Martin comedy, "Cheaper by the Dozen" and its 2005 sequel.

After seeing Haylie Duff perform in a band, Hilary wanted to give it a shot, releasing her first album, "Santa Claus Lane" in 2002, featuring Christina Milian and Lil' Romeo, as well as her sister, and included the hit single "Why Not?" Her next album, the following year, "Metamorphosis," was a number one album on North American charts, with lead single, "So Yesterday."

In 2005, the Hilary Duff "Beat Of My Heart" song, from her new album "Most Wanted" represented works in which she was less of an industry and more able to exercise creative control over the work. She has since become involved with many charities, including animal rights, "Kids With a Cause," and has contributed to relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Hilary started her own clothing line, "Stuff By Duff," in spring of 2004 and that same year Playmates Toys released a Hilary Duff doll.

Hilary Duff remains a more admirable role model for young teens, though much criticism surrounds the star from the usual sources that thrive in celebrity environments. Where image promotion might emphasize Hilary Duff Sedu hair style and hairstyles of Hilary Duff, there are others more concerned with public absences, potential eating disorders, and weight loss problems. While the majority of young male fans might dream of a Hilary Duff bikini model, the young star continues to portray a competent, artistic, and admirable role model. This is a star who is coming into her own, taking charge of her career, and avoiding the pitfalls of immaturity that have taken down many a young star. She will likely emerge into the world of adult celebrities, relatively unscathed, and it is hoped the princess lifestyle will one day evolve into that of a serious and significant dramatic actress.
