Julia Stiles is an American stage and screen actress, hailed as "the
thinking teenagers' movie goddess" by a New York Times critic. After
beginning her theater career in small parts, she has moved on to
leading roles in plays by writers as diverse as William Shakespeare
and David Mamet; her film career has been both a commercial and
critical success, ranging from teen romantic comedies such as 10
Things I Hate About You (1999) to dark art house pictures such as The
Business of Strangers (2001). When Stiles isn't working she actively
supports a variety of progressive and liberal issues.
