Hilary Duff

Wednesday, August 18

Talented Teen Take-Over

At the age of six, young and multi-talented Hilary Duff developed an interest in dance and began taking ballet lessons, later making her stage debut in a Christmas production of "The Nutcracker." She developed a stronger passion for acting after taking on more dramatic roles in the made-for-TV movie “The Soul Collector” and a guest appearance on “Chicago Hope.” Duff was cast in the title role of Lizzie McGuire in 2001.

After the success of “Lizzie McGuire,” Duff branched out into music, writing and singing a song for the film’s soundtrack album, and recording a Christmas album in 2002. Released in theaters in the summer of 2003, “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” provided the ideal cinematic alternative for pre-teen girls uninterested in the exploits of “X-Men 2” and too young to be swept up in the hype of “The Matrix Reloaded.”

Taking in twice the cost of production in only four weeks at the box office, Duff stunned fans less than a month after the film’s stateside release by announcing that, due to contract negotiation failures, she would be departing from the lucrative Lizzie McGuire franchise to pursue other career opportunities. However, you can catch Hilary and big sister Haylie Duff on tour this month at the Erwin Center.
