Dancing Shoes

Hilary Duff started her career dancing with the Ballet Met Columbus. After landing a TV commercial, she was bitten by the acting bug and started to focus on that, instead of dancing. Hilary Duff snagged the role of Ellie in the 1999 TV movie, The Soul Collector. Her performance won Hilary an Artist Award for Best Supporting Actress and also helped her land more TV appearances, like a stint on the hospital drama, Chicago Hope.

Landing Lizzie

Hilary Duff's breakthrough role was the part of Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel's hit show, Lizzie McGuire. Hilary landed the role in 2001 and the show was so popular on both Nickelodeon and ABC that they made it into a feature film. The Lizzie McGuire Movie hit theaters in May 2003 and was an instant success. Unfortunately, Hilary Duff and Disney couldn't agree on her salary or other contact issues, so Hilary left Disney to do other things. The Lizzie McGuire Show can still be seen in reruns.

Hilary Duff Says...

"I love clothes. I can't control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes, clothes and make-up. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to wear things over and over again."
