Hilary Duff (born September 28, 1987) is an American actress and singer. After working in local theater plays and television commercials in her childhood, she gained fame for playing the title role in the television series Lizzie McGuire. Duff subsequently ventured into feature films, with many successful movies to her credit which included, Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003), and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005).
Hilary’s early career was marked by playing minor roles, starting off with an uncredited appearance in Hallmark Entertainment’s western miniseries True Women in 1997. Hilary also served as an uncredited extra, in writer-director Willard Carroll’s ensemble dramedy Playing by Heart in 1998. Her first major role was as a star of the 1998 film Casper Meets Wendy, a direct-to-video sequel to Casper: A Spirited Beginning in which she plays the young witch Wendy, who befriends the animated character Casper. The film was released to mostly unenthusiastic reviews.
Hilary expanded her repertoire into pop music with the release of three RIAA-certified platinum albums and over thirteen million records sold worldwide as of February 2007. Her first studio album, Metamorphosis (2003), was certified triple platinum and she followed it up with two more platinum albums, Hilary Duff (2004) and Most Wanted (2005). Hilary released her third studio album, Dignity (2007), which was certified gold in August 2007 and released two singles, “With Love”, her highest charting US single to date and “Stranger”. In November 2008, she released a compilation of her greatest hits, Best of Hilary Duff, whose single “Reach Out” became her third #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.
