Julia Stiles is the Holy Trinity: natural beauty, talent and intelligence all rolled into one tiny, and might we add stunning, package. Julia isn't the hottest actress on the market, but she still manages to deliver one hell-of-a-punch every time we see her. A young Julia Roberts to many, Julia Stiles took matter into her own hands at age eleven when she personally wrote a letter to the La Mama Theater asking for an audition. Not only did they give her an audition, but they snatched her up as one of their prestigious students, quickly booking her spots in small theater productions where she could show off her undeniable talents.
After appearing as a guest star in the popular teen TV series "Ghostwriter," Julia went on to pursue a television career and gained critical recognition for her role in the NBC miniseries "The 60's" in 1999. Julia effortlessly began her budding film career in the Shakespearean hit "10 Things I Hate About You," winning a MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Female Performance. Julia may not be considered a star, but she definitely has the rare qualities needed to make it in Hollywood today, named as one of Teen People's 21 Hottest Stars Under 21 and currently attending Ivy-league Columbia University on her downtime.
