Julia Stiles

Stiles’ career started very early—when she was only 11 years old! Her break-out role as Kat Stratford in “10 Things I Hate About You” set up her career. It was award-winning, scooping, among others, the Chicago Film Critics Association Award in 2000.

As with others in the thread, Stiles has initiated a transformation that will usher her into the second phase of her career after 50 films: directing her own. She revealed in 2021 that she might never be a mainstream actress again. After the success of “Riviera,” she will make her directing debut with “Wish You Were Here.”
