About Hilary Duff
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.

In 2002, Duff starred in the blockbuster “Cadet Kelly,” which ranks as Disney Channel's highest rated original movie ever, the top-rated movie on both broadcast and cable television for its premiere week and cable television's highest rated movie in 2002.
